Using Parallel Optimizers in the Interactive Optimizer

  1. If necessary for your platform, set any operating system environment variable needed for parallel operation. See Threads and platform considerations for the various parallel optimizers (MIP, nested, barrier, or simplex) for details.
  2. Start the parallel implementation of the ILOG CPLEX Interactive Optimizer with the command parcplex (or cplex on machines where a separate executable is not needed) at the operating system prompt.
  3. Set the thread-limit, as explained in Threads.
  4. Enter and populate your problem object as usual.
  5. Call the parallel optimizer with the appropriate command:

    Parallel MIP Optimizer 
    mipopt 
    Parallel Barrier Optimizer 
    baropt 
    Parallel Simplex Optimizer 
    primopt or tranopt
