ILOG CPLEX 11.0 User's Manual > Programming Considerations > Tuning Tool > Meet the Tuning Tool > Tuning Results

The tuning tool selects the best suite of parameter settings based on the performance times of the several optimizations of the model or models. Because theperformance times cannot be measured exactly, the results of tuning can differ from one tuning run to another if the times for the individual optimizations are close.
