ILOG CPLEX 11.0 User's Manual > Continuous Optimization > Solving LPs: Simplex Optimizers > Tuning LP Performance

Each of the optimizers available in ILOG CPLEX is designed to solve most linear programming problems under its default parameter settings. However, characteristics of your particular problem may make performance tuning advantageous.

As a first step in tuning performance, try the different ILOG CPLEX optimizers, as recommended in Choosing an Optimizer for Your LP Problem.

To help you decide whether default settings of parameters are best for your model, or whether other parameter settings may improve performance, the tuning tool is available. Tuning Tool explains more about this utility and offers you examples of its use.

The following sections suggest other features of ILOG CPLEX to consider in tuning the performance of your application:
