# CALLBACKCHECKTIMEWORKDELAY

Description | Minimum delay in work units between two consecutive executions of the CHECKTIME callback in the same solution process
Type | Double
Topic areas | Callback, Determinism
Values |
0 | Callback delay is disabled - the callback is executed every time;
>0 | Callback invocation if less than the specified (potentially fractional) number of work units have passed since the last invocation.
Default value | 0
Unit | work units
Notes | The CHECKTIME callback may be invoked very often and can lead to an overhead. This control enables users to specify a minimum delay between two consecutive calls, such that the overhead becomes controllable. Note that WORK is accumulated deterministically during the search in contrast to TIME. Therefore, the callback invocation sequence with a positive CALLBACKCHECKTIMEWORKDELAY is reproducible across multiple invocations of the same search (same user controls, same problem) even on different machines. Note that the internal counter is reset at every invocation of a solution process via XPRSlpoptimize, XPRSmipoptimize, etc. The disadvantage of setting a delay in work units is that work increases less uniformly than time. While the related control CALLBACKCHECKTIMEDELAY specifies a delay in milliseconds, this double control allows delay specification of an arbitrary fraction of a work unit.
