WORKLIMIT

Description
The maximum work (measured in work units) that the Optimizer will run before it terminates. WORK is accumulated during the search and ever increasing. In contrast to TIME, WORK is independent of the hardware and platform on which the search is conducted. The WORKLIMIT serves as a deterministic stopping criterion. When it is reached, it leaves the optimizer in a reproducible state.
Type
Double
Topic areas
Values
>0 
Stop LP or MIP search when the given number of work units is reached.
Default value
1e+20
Note
The reproducibility of a search conducted under a WORKLIMIT depends on the chosen determinism of the search, see the control DETERMINISTIC for more information.
Note
The speed at which work is accumulated depends on the hardware, the algorithms involved, and the problem being solved.
