XPRSprob Properties

The XPRSprob type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	ActiveNodes	Number of outstanding nodes.
	AlgAfterCrossOver	The algorithm to be used for the final clean up step after the crossover.
	AlgAfterNetwork	The algorithm to be used for the clean up step after the network simplex solver.
	Algorithm	The algorithm the optimizer currently is running / was running just before completition.
	AlternativeRedCosts	Controls aggressiveness of searching for alternative reduced cost
	AttentionLevel	A measure between 0 and 1 for how numerically unstable the problem is. The attention level is based on a weighted combination of the number of basis condition numbers exceeding certain thresholds. It considers all nodes sampled by MIPKAPPAFREQ, with a setting of 1 being the most frequent sampling rate. The higher the attention level, the worse conditioned is the problem.
	AutoCutting	Should the Optimizer automatically decide whether to generate cutting planes at local nodes in the tree or not? If the CUTFREQ control is set, no automatic selection will be made and local cutting will be enabled.
	AutoPerturb	Simplex: This indicates whether automatic perturbation is performed. If this is set to 1, the problem will be perturbed whenever the simplex method encounters an excessive number of degenerate pivot steps, thus preventing the Optimizer being hindered by degeneracies.
	AutoScaling	Whether the Optimizer should automatically select between different scaling algorithms. If the SCALING control is set, no automatic scaling will be applied.
	AvailableMemory	The amount of heap memory detected by Xpress as free.
	BackgroundMaxThreads	Limit the number of threads to use in background jobs (for example in parallel to the root cut loop).
	BackgroundSelect	Bit-vector control (see Section ) to select which tasks to run in background jobs (for example in parallel to the root cut loop).
	BackTrack	Branch and Bound: Specifies how to select the next node to work on when a full backtrack is performed.
	BacktrackTie	Branch and Bound: Specifies how to break ties when selecting the next node to work on when a full backtrack is performed. The options are the same as for the BACKTRACK control.
	BarAASize	Number of nonzeros in AA^T.
	BarAlg	This control determines which barrier algorithm is used to solve the problem. Notably, this is also the control to enable the primal-dual hybrid gradient algorithm.
	BarCGap	Convergence criterion for the Newton barrier algorithm.
	BarCondA	Absolute condition measure calculated in the last iteration of the barrier algorithm.
	BarCondD	Condition measure calculated in the last iteration of the barrier algorithm.
	BarCores	If set to a positive integer it determines the number of physical CPU cores assumed to be present in the system by the barrier and hybrid gradient algorithms. If the value is set to the default value (-1), Xpress will automatically detect the number of cores.
	BarCrash	Newton barrier and hybrid gradient: This determines the type of crash used for the crossover. During the crash procedure, an initial basis is determined which attempts to speed up the crossover. A good choice at this stage will significantly reduce the number of iterations required to crossover to an optimal solution. The possible values increase proportionally to their time-consumption.
	BarCrossover	Indicates whether or not the basis crossover phase has been entered.
	BarDenseCol	Number of dense columns found in the matrix.
	BarDualInf	Sum of the dual infeasibilities for the Newton barrier algorithm.
	BarDualObj	Dual objective value calculated by the Newton barrier algorithm.
	BarDualStop	Newton barrier and hybrid gradient: This is a convergence parameter, representing the tolerance for dual infeasibilities. If the difference between the constraints and their bounds in the dual problem falls below this tolerance in absolute value, optimization will stop and the current solution will be returned.
	BarFailIterLimit	Newton barrier: The maximum number of consecutive iterations that fail to improve the solution in the barrier algorithm.
	BarFreeScale	Defines how the barrier algorithm scales free variables.
	BarGapStop	Newton barrier and hybrid gradient: This is a convergence parameter, representing the tolerance for the relative duality gap. When the difference between the primal and dual objective function values falls below this tolerance, the Optimizer determines that the optimal solution has been found.
	BarGapTarget	Newton barrier: The target tolerance for the relative duality gap. The barrier algorithm will keep iterating until either BARGAPTARGET is satisfied or until no further improvements are possible. In the latter case, if BARGAPSTOP is satisfied, it will declare the problem optimal.
	BarhgExtrapolate	Extrapolation parameter for the hybrid gradient algorithm. Although theory suggests that a value of 1 is best, slightly smaller values perform better in general.
	BarhgMaxRestarts	The maximum number of restarts in the hybrid gradient algorithm. Restarts play the role of iterations in the hybrid gradient algorithm. A log line is printed at every restart, unless BAROUTPUT is set to 0.
	BarhgOps	Bit-vector control (see Section ) options for the hybrid gradient algorithm. Bits 1, 2 and 3 control which norms of the coefficient matrix are used for solution normalization. The normalization factor is the maximum of the selected norms. By default, or if all three bits are set to 0, the infinity norm is used. The omega parameter referenced in bits 4, 5 and 6 is a measure of the relative magnitudes of the objective and the right-hand side.
	BarIndefLimit	Newton Barrier. This limits the number of consecutive indefinite barrier iterations that will be performed. The optimizer will try to minimize (resp. maximize) a QP problem even if the Q matrix is not positive (resp. negative) semi-definite. However, the optimizer may detect that the Q matrix is indefinite and this can result in the optimizer not converging. This control specifies how many indefinite iterations may occur before the optimizer stops and reports that the problem is indefinite. It is usual to specify a value greater than one, and only stop after a series of indefinite matrices, as the problem may be found to be indefinite incorrectly on a few iterations for numerical reasons.
	BarIter	Number of Newton barrier iterations.
	BarIterative	The maximum number of barrier iterations in which an iterative solver is used instead of the Cholesky decomposition.
	BarIterLimit	Newton barrier: The maximum number of iterations. While the simplex method usually performs a number of iterations which is proportional to the number of constraints (rows) in a problem, the barrier method standardly finds the optimal solution to a given accuracy after a number of iterations which is independent of the problem size. The penalty is rather that the time for each iteration increases with the size of the problem. BARITERLIMIT specifies the maximum number of iterations which will be carried out by the barrier.
	BarKeepLastSol	Control BARKEEPLASTSOL.
	BarKernel	Newton barrier: Defines how centrality is weighted in the barrier algorithm.
	BarLargeBound	Threshold for the barrier to handle large bounds.
	BarLSize	Number of nonzeros in L resulting from the Cholesky factorization.
	BarNumStability	Control BARNUMSTABILITY. Obsolete
	BarObjPerturb	Defines how the barrier perturbs the objective.
	BarObjScale	Defines how the barrier scales the objective.
	BarOrder	Newton barrier: This controls the Cholesky factorization in the Newton-Barrier.
	BarOrderThreads	If set to a positive integer it determines the number of concurrent threads for the sparse matrix ordering algorithm in the Newton-barrier method.
	BarOutput	Newton barrier and hybrid gradient: This specifies the level of solution output provided. Output is provided either after each iteration of the algorithm, or else can be turned off completely by this parameter.
	BarPerturb	Newton barrier: In numerically challenging cases it is often advantageous to apply perturbations on the KKT system to improve its numerical properties. BARPERTURB controlls how much perturbation is allowed during the barrier iterations. By default no perturbation is allowed. Set this parameter with care as larger perturbations may lead to less efficient iterates and the best settings are problem-dependent.
	BarPresolveOps	Newton barrier: This bit-vector (see Section ) controls the Newton-Barrier specific presolve operations.
	BarPrimalInf	Sum of the primal infeasibilities for the Newton barrier algorithm.
	BarPrimalObj	Primal objective value calculated by the Newton barrier algorithm.
	BarPrimalStop	Newton barrier and hybrid gradient: This is a convergence parameter, indicating the tolerance for primal infeasibilities. If the difference between the constraints and their bounds in the primal problem falls below this tolerance in absolute value, the Optimizer will terminate and return the current solution.
	BarRefIter	Newton barrier: After terminating the barrier algorithm, further refinement steps can be performed. Such refinement steps are especially helpful if the solution is near to the optimum and can improve primal feasibility and decrease the complementarity gap. It is also often advantageous for the crossover algorithm. BARREFITER specifies the maximum number of such refinement iterations.
	BarRegularize	This bit-vector control (see Section ) determines how the barrier algorithm applies regularization on the KKT system.
	BarRhsScale	Defines how the barrier scales the right hand side.
	BarSing	Number of linearly dependent binding constraints at the optimal barrier solution. These results in singularities in the Cholesky decomposition during the barrier that may cause numerical troubles. Larger dependence means more chance for numerical difficulties.
	BarSingR	Regularized number of linearly dependent binding constraints at the optimal barrier solution. These results in singularities in the Cholesky decomposition during the barrier that may cause numerical troubles. Larger dependence means more chance for numerical difficulties.
	BarSolution	This determines whether the barrier has to decide which is the best solution found or return the solution computed by the last barrier iteration.
	BarStart	Controls the computation of the starting point and warm-starting for the Newton barrier and the hybrid gradient algorithms.
	BarStartWeight	Newton barrier: This sets a weight for the warm-start point when warm-start is set for the barrier algorithm. Using larger weight gives more emphasis for the supplied starting point.
	BarStepStop	Newton barrier: A convergence parameter, representing the minimal step size. On each iteration of the barrier algorithm, a step is taken along a computed search direction. If that step size is smaller than BARSTEPSTOP, the Optimizer will terminate and return the current solution.
	BarThreads	If set to a positive integer it determines the number of threads implemented to run the Newton-barrier and hybrid gradient algorithms. If the value is set to the default value (-1), the THREADS control will determine the number of threads used.
	BestBound	Value of the best bound determined so far by the MIP search.
	BigM	The infeasibility penalty used if the "Big M" method is implemented.
	BigmMethod	Simplex: This specifies whether to use the "Big M" method, or the standard phase I (achieving feasibility) and phase II (achieving optimality). In the "Big M" method, the objective coefficients of the variables are considered during the feasibility phase, possibly leading to an initial feasible basis which is closer to optimal. The side-effects involve possible round-off errors due to the presence of the "Big M" factor in the problem.
	BoundName	Active bound name.
	BranchChoice	Once a MIP entity has been selected for branching, this control determines which of the branches is solved first.
	BranchDisj	Branch and Bound: Determines whether the optimizer should attempt to branch on general split disjunctions during the branch and bound search.

	BranchValue	The value of the branching variable at a node of the Branch and Bound tree.
	BranchVar	The branching variable at a node of the Branch and Bound tree.
	BreadthFirst	The number of nodes to include in the best-first search before switching to the local first search (NODESELECTION=4).
	CacheSize	Newton Barrier: L2 or L3 (see notes) cache size in kB (kilobytes) of the CPU. On Intel (or compatible) platforms a value of -1 may be used to determine the cache size automatically. If the CPU model is new then the cache size may not be correctly detected by an older release of the software. Obsolete
	CallbackCheckTimeDelay	Minimum delay in milliseconds between two consecutive executions of the CHECKTIME callback in the same solution process
	CallbackCheckTimeWorkDelay	Minimum delay in work units between two consecutive executions of the CHECKTIME callback in the same solution process
	CallbackCount_CutMgr	This attribute counts the number of times the cut manager callback set by addCbCutmgr has been called for the current node, including the current callback call. The value of this attribute should only be used from within the cut manager callback.
	CallbackCount_OptNode	This attribute counts the number of times the optimal node callback set by addCbOptnode has been called for the current node, including the current callback call. The value of this attribute should only be used from within the optimal node callback.
	CallbackFromMasterThread	Branch and Bound: specifies whether the MIP callbacks should only be called on the master thread.
	CheckInputData	Check input arrays for bad data.
	ChecksOnMaxCutTime	This attribute is used to set the value of the MAXCHECKSONMAXCUTTIME control. Its value is the number of times the optimizer checked the MAXCUTTIME criterion during the last call to the optimization routine mipOptimize. If a run terminates cutting operations on the MAXCUTTIME criterion then the attribute is the negative of the number of times the optimizer checked the MAXCUTTIME criterion up to and including the check when the termination was activated. Note that the attribute is set to zero at the beginning of each call to an optimization routine.
	ChecksOnMaxTime	This attribute is used to set the value of the MAXCHECKSONMAXTIME control. Its value is the number of times the optimizer checked the MAXTIME criterion during the last call to the optimization routine mipOptimize. If a run terminates on the MAXTIME criterion then the attribute is the negative of the number of times the optimizer checked the MAXTIME criterion up to and including the check when the termination was activated. Note that the attribute is set to zero at the beginning of each call to an optimization routine.
	CholeskyAlg	Newton barrier: type of Cholesky factorization used; bit-vector-control (see Section ).
	CholeskyTol	Newton barrier: The tolerance for pivot elements in the Cholesky decomposition of the normal equations coefficient matrix, computed at each iteration of the barrier algorithm. If the absolute value of the pivot element is less than or equal to CHOLESKYTOL, it merits special treatment in the Cholesky decomposition process.
	Clamping	This bit-vector control (see Section ) allows for the adjustment of returned solution values such that they are always within bounds.
	Cols	Number of columns (i.e. variables) in the matrix.

	ConeElems	Number of second order cone coefficients in the problem.
	Cones	Number of second order and rotated second order cones in the problem.
	ConflictCuts	Branch and Bound: Specifies how cautious or aggressive the optimizer should be when searching for and applying conflict cuts. Conflict cuts are in-tree cuts derived from nodes found to be infeasible or cut off, which can be used to cut off other branches of the search tree.
	CoresDetected	Number of logical cores detected by the optimizer, which is the total number of threads the hardware can execute across all CPUs.
	CoresPerCPU	Used to override the detected value of the number of cores on a CPU. The cache size (either detected or specified via the CACHESIZE control) used in Barrier methods will be divided by this amount, and this scaled-down value will be the amount of cache allocated to each Barrier thread
	CoresPerCPUDetected	Number of logical cores per CPU unit detected by the optimizer, which is the number of threads each CPU can execute.
	CoverCuts	Branch and Bound: The number of rounds of lifted cover inequalities at the root node. A lifted cover inequality is an additional constraint that can be particularly effective at reducing the size of the feasible region without removing potential integral solutions. The process of generating these can be carried out a number of times, further reducing the feasible region, albeit incurring a time penalty. There is usually a good payoff from generating these at the root node, since these inequalities then apply to every subsequent node in the tree search.
	CpiAlpha	decay term for confined primal integral computation.
	CpiScaleFactor	scale factor from primal integral computation.
	CPUPlatform	Newton Barrier: Selects the AMD, Intel x86 or ARM vectorization instruction set that Barrier should run optimized code for. On AMD / Intel x86 platforms the SSE2, AVX and AVX2 instruction sets are supported while on ARM platforms the NEON architecture extension can be activated.
	CPUsDetected	Number of CPU units detected by the optimizer.
	CPUTime	How time should be measured when timings are reported in the log and when checking against time limits
	Crash	Simplex: This determines the type of crash used when the algorithm begins. During the crash procedure, an initial basis is determined which is as close to feasibility and triangularity as possible. A good choice at this stage will significantly reduce the number of iterations required to find an optimal solution. The possible values increase proportionally to their time-consumption.
	CrossOver	Newton barrier and hybrid gradient: This control determines whether the barrier method will cross over to the simplex method when at optimal solution has been found, to provide an end basis (see getBasis, writeBasis) and advanced sensitivity analysis information (see objsa, rHSsa, bndsa).
	CrossoverAccuracyTol	Newton barrier: This control determines how crossover adjusts the default relative pivot tolerance. When re-inversion is necessary, crossover will compare the recalculated working basic solution with the assumed ones just before re-inversion took place. If the error is above this threshold, crossover will adjust the relative pivot tolerance to address the build-up of numerical inaccuracies.
	CrossOverDRP	Control CROSSOVERDRP.
	CrossOverFeasWeight	Control CROSSOVERFEASWEIGHT.
	CrossoverIter	Number of simplex iterations performed in crossover.
	CrossoverIterLimit	Newton barrier and hybrid gradient: The maximum number of iterations that will be performed in the crossover procedure before the optimization process terminates.
	CrossoverOps	Newton barrier and hybrid gradient: a bit-vector (see Section ) for adjusting the behavior of the crossover procedure.
	CrossOverRelPivotTol	Control CROSSOVERRELPIVOTTOL.
	CrossOverRelPivotTolSafe	Control CROSSOVERRELPIVOTTOLSAFE.
	CrossoverThreads	Determines the maximum number of threads that parallel crossover is allowed to use. If CROSSOVERTHREADS is set to the default value (-1), the BARTHREADS control will determine the number of threads used.
	CurrentMemory	The amount of dynamically allocated heap memory by the problem being solved.
	CurrentNode	The unique identifier of the current node in the tree search.
	CurrMipCutOff	The current MIP cut off.
	CutDepth	Branch and Bound: Sets the maximum depth in the tree search at which cuts will be generated. Generating cuts can take a lot of time, and is often less important at deeper levels of the tree since tighter bounds on the variables have already reduced the feasible region. A value of 0 signifies that no cuts will be generated.
	CutFactor	Limit on the number of cuts and cut coefficients the optimizer is allowed to add to the matrix during tree search. The cuts and cut coefficients are limited by CUTFACTOR times the number of rows and coefficients in the initial matrix.
	CutFreq	Branch and Bound: This specifies the frequency at which cuts are generated in the tree search. If the depth of the node modulo CUTFREQ is zero, then cuts will be generated.
	CutRounds	Number of rounds of cuts applied to the current node of a branch-and-bound search.
	Cuts	Number of cuts being added to the matrix.
	CutSelect	A bit-vector (see Section ) providing detailed control of the cuts created for the root node of a MIP solve. Use TREECUTSELECT to control cuts during the tree search.
	CutStrategy	Branch and Bound: This specifies the cut strategy. A more aggressive cut strategy, generating a greater number of cuts, will result in fewer nodes to be explored, but with an associated time cost in generating the cuts. The fewer cuts generated, the less time taken, but the greater subsequent number of nodes to be explored.
	DefaultAlg	This selects the algorithm that will be used to solve LPs, standalone or during MIP optimization.
	DenseColLimit	Newton barrier: Columns with more than DENSECOLLIMIT elements are considered to be dense. Such columns will be handled specially in the Cholesky factorization of this matrix.
	Deterministic	Selects whether to use a deterministic or opportunistic mode when solving a problem using multiple threads.

	Dualize	For a linear problem or the initial linear relaxation of a MIP, determines whether to form and solve the dual problem.
	DualizeOps	Bit-vector control (see Section ) for adjusting the behavior when a problem is dualized.
	DualPerturb	The factor by which the problem will be perturbed prior to optimization by dual simplex. A value of 0.0 results in no perturbation prior to optimization. Note the interconnection to the AUTOPERTURB control. If AUTOPERTURB is set to 1, the decision whether to perturb or not is left to the Optimizer. When the problem is automatically perturbed in dual simplex, however, the value of DUALPERTURB will be used for perturbation.
	DualStrategy	This bit-vector control (see Section ) specifies the dual simplex strategy.
	DualThreads	Determines the maximum number of threads that dual simplex is allowed to use. If DUALTHREADS is set to the default value (-1), the THREADS control will determine the number of threads used.
	DummyControl	Control DUMMYCONTROL.
	EigenValueTol	A quadratic matrix is considered not to be positive semi-definite, if its smallest eigenvalue is smaller than the negative of this value.
	Elems	Number of matrix nonzeros (elements).
	ElimFillIn	Amount of fill-in allowed when performing an elimination in presolve .
	ElimTol	The Markowitz tolerance for the elimination phase of the presolve.
	ErrorCode	The most recent Optimizer error number that occurred. This is useful to determine the precise error that has occurred, after an Optimizer function has signalled an error by returning a non-zero value. The return value itself is not the error number. Refer to the section for a list of possible error numbers, the errors they indicate, and advice on what they mean and how to resolve them. A short error message may be obtained using getLastError, and all messages may be intercepted using the user output callback function; see addCbMessage.
	EscapeNames	If characters illegal to an mps or lp file should be escaped to guarantee readability, and whether escaped characters should be transformed back when reading such a file.
	EtaTol	Tolerance on eta elements. During each iteration, the basis inverse is premultiplied by an elementary matrix, which is the identity except for one column - the eta vector. Elements of eta vectors whose absolute value is smaller than ETATOL are taken to be zero in this step.
	ExtraCols	The initial number of extra columns to allow for in the matrix. If columns are to be added to the matrix, then, for maximum efficiency, space should be reserved for the columns before the matrix is input by setting the EXTRACOLS control. If this is not done, resizing will occur automatically, but more space may be allocated than the user actually requires.
	ExtraElems	The initial number of extra matrix elements to allow for in the matrix, including coefficients for cuts. If rows or columns are to be added to the matrix, then, for maximum efficiency, space should be reserved for the extra matrix elements before the matrix is input by setting the EXTRAELEMS control. If this is not done, resizing will occur automatically, but more space may be allocated than the user actually requires.
	ExtraMIPEnts	The initial number of extra MIP entities to allow for.
	ExtraRows	The initial number of extra rows to allow for in the matrix, including cuts. If rows are to be added to the matrix, then, for maximum efficiency, space should be reserved for the rows before the matrix is input by setting the EXTRAROWS control. If this is not done, resizing will occur automatically, but more space may be allocated than the user actually requires.
	ExtraSetElems	The initial number of extra elements in sets to allow for in the matrix. If sets are to be added to the matrix, then, for maximum efficiency, space should be reserved for the set elements before the matrix is input by setting the EXTRASETELEMS control. If this is not done, resizing will occur automatically, but more space may be allocated than the user actually requires.
	ExtraSets	The initial number of extra sets to allow for in the matrix. If sets are to be added to the matrix, then, for maximum efficiency, space should be reserved for the sets before the matrix is input by setting the EXTRASETS control. If this is not done, resizing will occur automatically, but more space may be allocated than the user actually requires.
	FeasibilityJump	MIP: Decides if the Feasibility Jump heuristic should be run. The value for this control is either -1 (let Xpress decide), 0 (off) or a value that indicates for which type of models the heuristic should be run.
	FeasibilityPump	Branch and Bound: Decides if the Feasibility Pump heuristic should be run at the root node.
	FeasTol	This tolerance determines when a solution is treated as feasible. If the amount by which a constraint's activity violates its right-hand side or ranged bound is less in absolute magnitude than FEASTOL, then the constraint is treated as satisfied. Similarly, if the amount by which a column violates its bounds is less in absolute magnitude than FEASTOL, those bounds are also treated as satisfied.
	FeasTolPerturb	This tolerance determines how much a feasible primal basic solution is allowed to be perturbed when performing basis changes. The tolerance FEASTOL is always considered as an upper limit for the perturbations, but in some cases smaller value can be more desirable.
	FeasTolTarget	This specifies the target feasibility tolerance for the solution refiner.
	ForceOutput	Certain names in the problem object may be incompatible with different file formats (such as names containing spaces for LP files). If the optimizer might be unable to read back a problem because of non-standard names, it will first attempt to write it out using an extended naming convention. If the names would not be possible to extend so that they would be reproducible and recognizable, it will give an error message and won't create the file. If the optimizer might be unable to read back a problem because of non-standard names, it will give an error message and won't create the file. This option may be used to force output anyway.
	ForceParallelDual	Dual simplex: specifies whether the dual simplex solver should always use the parallel simplex algorithm. By default, when using a single thread, the dual simplex solver will execute a dedicated sequential simplex algorithm.
	GenConCols	Number of input variables in general constraints (i.e. MIN/MAX/AND/OR/ABS constraints) in the problem.
	GenCons	The number of general constraints (i.e. MIN/MAX/AND/OR/ABS constraints) in the problem.
	GenconsAbsTransformation	This control specifies the reformulation method for absolute value general constraints at the beginning of the search.
	GenconsDualReductions	This parameter specifies whether dual reductions should be applied to reduce the number of columns and rows added when transforming general constraints to MIP structs.
	GenConVals	Number of constant values in general constraints (MIN/MAX constraints) in the problem.
	GlobalBoundingBox	If a nonlinear problem cannot be solved due to appearing unbounded, it can automatically be regularized by the application of a bounding box on the variables. If this control is set to a negative value, in a second solving attempt all original variables will be bounded by the absolute value of this control. If set to a positive value, there will be a third solving attempt afterwards, if necessary, in which also all auxiliary variables are bounded by this value.
	GlobalBoundingboxApplied	Whether a bounding box equal to the absolute value of the GLOBALBOUNDINGBOX control was applied to the problem after the initial solve came back infeasible and if so, to which variables.
	GlobalLSHeurstrategy	When integer-feasible (for MINLP, any solution for NLP) but nonlinear-infeasible solutions are encountered within a global solve, the integer variables can be fixed and a local solver (as defined by the LOCALSOLVER control) can be called on the remaining continuous problem. This control defines the frequency and effort of such local solves.
	GlobalNlpCuts	Limit on the number of rounds of outer approximation and convexification cuts generated for the root node, when solving an (MI)NLP to global optimality.
	GlobalNLPInfeas	Number of nonlinear infeasibilities at the current node of a global solve, measured as the number of violated atomic formulas.
	GlobalNumInitNlpCuts	Specifies the maximum number of tangent cuts when setting up the initial relaxation during a global solve. By default, the algorithm chooses the number of cuts automatically. Adding more cuts tightens the problem, resulting in a smaller branch-and-bound tree, at the cost of slowing down each LP solve.
	GlobalSpatialBranchCuttingEffort	Limits the effort that is spent on creating cuts during spatial branching.
	GlobalSpatialBranchIfPreferOrig	Whether spatial branchings on original variables should be preferred over branching on auxiliary variables that were introduced by the reformulation of the global solver.
	GlobalSpatialBranchPropagationEffort	Limits the effort that is spent on propagation during spatial branching.
	GlobalTreeNlpCuts	Limit on the number of rounds of outer approximation and convexification cuts generated for each node in the tree, when solving an (MI)NLP to global optimality.
	GomCuts	Branch and Bound: The number of rounds of Gomory or lift-and-project cuts at the root node.
	HeurBeforeLP	Branch and Bound: Determines whether primal heuristics should be run before the initial LP relaxation has been solved.
	HeurDepth	Branch and Bound: Sets the maximum depth in the tree search at which heuristics will be used to find MIP solutions. It may be worth stopping the heuristic search for solutions after a certain depth in the tree search. A value of 0 signifies that heuristics will not be used. This control no longer has any effect and will be removed from future releases.
	HeurDiveIterLimit	Branch and Bound: Simplex iteration limit for reoptimizing during the diving heuristic.
	HeurDiveRandomize	The level of randomization to apply in the diving heuristic. The diving heuristic uses priority weights on rows and columns to determine the order in which to e.g. round fractional columns, or the direction in which to round them. This control determines by how large a random factor these weights should be changed.
	HeurDiveSoftRounding	Branch and Bound: Enables a more cautious strategy for the diving heuristic, where it tries to push binaries and integer variables to their bounds using the objective, instead of directly fixing them. This can be useful when the default diving heuristics fail to find any feasible solutions.
	HeurDiveSpeedUp	Branch and Bound: Changes the emphasis of the diving heuristic from solution quality to diving speed.
	HeurDiveStrategy	Branch and Bound: Chooses the strategy for the diving heuristic.
	HeurEmphasis	Branch and Bound: This control specifies an emphasis for the search w.r.t. primal heuristics and other procedures that affect the speed of convergence of the primal-dual gap. For problems where the goal is to achieve a small gap but not neccessarily solving them to optimality, it is recommended to set HEUREMPHASIS to 1. This setting triggers many additional heuristic calls, aiming for reducing the gap at the beginning of the search, typically at the expense of an increased time for proving optimality.
	HeurForceSpecialObj	Branch and Bound: This specifies whether local search heuristics without objective or with an auxiliary objective should always be used, despite the automatic selection of the Optimiezr. Deactivated by default.
	HeurFreq	Branch and Bound: This specifies the frequency at which heuristics are used in the tree search. Heuristics will only be used at a node if the depth of the node is a multiple of HEURFREQ.
	HeurMaxSol	Branch and Bound: This specifies the maximum number of heuristic solutions that will be found in the tree search. This control no longer has any effect and will be removed from future releases.
	HeurNodes	Branch and Bound: This specifies the maximum number of nodes at which heuristics are used in the tree search. This control no longer has any effect and will be removed from future releases.
	HeursearchBackgroundSelect	Bit-vector control (see Section ) to select which large neighborhood searches to run in the background (for example in parallel to the root cut loop).
	HeurSearchCopyControls	Select how user-set controls should affect local search heuristics.
	HeurSearchEffort	Adjusts the overall level of the local search heuristics.
	HeurSearchFreq	Branch and Bound: This specifies how often the local search heuristic should be run in the tree.
	HeurSearchRootCutFreq	How frequently to run the local search heuristic during root cutting. This is given as how many cut rounds to perform between runs of the heuristic. Set to zero to avoid applying the heuristic during root cutting. Branch and Bound: This specifies how often the local search heuristic should be run in the tree.
	HeurSearchRootSelect	A bit-vector control (see Section ) for selecting which local search heuristics to apply on the root node of a MIP solve. Use HEURSEARCHTREESELECT to control local search heuristics during the tree search.
	HeurSearchTargetSize	Control HEURSEARCHTARGETSIZE.
	HeurSearchTreeSelect	A bit-vector control (see Section ) for selecting which local search heuristics to apply during the tree search of a MIP solve. Use HEURSEARCHROOTSELECT to control local search heuristics on the root node.
	HeurSelect	Control HEURSELECT.
	HeurShiftProp	Determines whether the Shift-and-propagate primal heuristic should be executed. If enabled, Shift-and-propagate is an LP-free primal heuristic that is executed immediately after presolve.

Checking convexity takes some time, thus for problems that are known to be convex it might be reasonable to switch the checking off.
	IgnoreContainerCpuLimit	Control IGNORECONTAINERCPULIMIT.
	IgnoreContainerMemoryLimit	Control IGNORECONTAINERMEMORYLIMIT.
	IISLog	Selects how much information should be printed during the IIS procedure. Please refer to Appendix for a more detailed description of the IIS logging format.
	IISOps	Selects which part of the restrictions (bounds, constraints, entities) should always be kept in an IIS. This is useful if certain types of restrictions cannot be violated, thus they are known not to be the cause of infeasibility. The IIS obtained this way is irreducible only for the non-protected restrictions. This bit-vector control (see Section ) has an effect only on the deletion filter of the IIS procedure.
	IISSolStatus	IIS solution status.
	Indicators	Number of indicator constrains in the problem.
	IndLinBigM	During presolve, indicator constraints will be linearized using a BigM coefficient whenever that BigM coefficient is small enough. This control defines the largest BigM for which such a linearized version will be added to the problem in addition to the original constraint. If the BigM is even smaller than INDPRELINBIGM, then the original indicator constraint will additionally be dropped from the problem.
	IndPreLinBigM	During presolve, indicator constraints will be linearized using a BigM coefficient whenever that BigM coefficient is small enough. This control defines the largest BigM for which the original constraint will be replaced by the linearized version. If the BigM is larger than INDPRELINBIGM but smaller than INDLINBIGM, the linearized row will be added but the original indicator constraint is kept as a numerically stable way to check feasibility.

	InvertFreq	Simplex: The frequency with which the basis will be inverted. The basis is maintained in a factorized form and on most simplex iterations it is incrementally updated to reflect the step just taken. This is considerably faster than computing the full inverted matrix at each iteration, although after a number of iterations the basis becomes less well-conditioned and it becomes necessary to compute the full inverted matrix. The value of INVERTFREQ specifies the maximum number of iterations between full inversions.
	InvertMin	Simplex: The minimum number of iterations between full inversions of the basis matrix. See the description of INVERTFREQ for details.
	IOTimeout	The maximum number of seconds to wait for an I/O operation before it is cancelled.
	KeepBasis	Simplex: This determines whether the basis should be kept when reoptimizing a problem. The choice is between using a crash basis created at the beginning of simplex or using a basis from a previous solve (if such exists). By default, this control gets (re)set automatically in various situations. By default, it will be automatically set to 1 after a solve that produced a valid basis. This will automatically warmstart a subsequent solve. Explicitly loading a starting basis will also set this control to 1. If the control is explicitly set to 0, any existing basis will be ignored for a new solve, and the Optimizer will start from an ad-hoc crash basis.

	MaxAbsPrimalInfeas	Maximum calculated absolute primal infeasibility in the unscaled original problem.
	MaxChecksOnMaxCutTime	This control is intended for use where optimization runs that are terminated using the MAXCUTTIME control are required to be reproduced exactly. This control is necessary because of the inherent difficulty in terminating algorithmic software in a consistent way using temporal criteria. The control value relates to the number of times the optimizer checks the MAXCUTTIME criterion up to and including the check when the termination of cutting was activated. To use the control the user first must obtain the value of the CHECKSONMAXCUTTIME attribute after the run returns. This attribute value is the number of times the optimizer checked the MAXCUTTIME criterion during the last call to the optimization routine mipOptimize. Note that this attribute value will be negative if the optimizer terminated cutting on the MAXCUTTIME criterion. To ensure accurate reproduction of a run the user should first ensure that MAXCUTTIME is set to its default value or to a large value so the run does not terminate again on MAXCUTTIME and then simply set the control MAXCHECKSONMAXCUTTIME to the absolute value of the CHECKSONMAXCUTTIME value.
	MaxChecksOnMaxTime	This control is intended for use where optimization runs that are terminated using the TIMELIMIT (or the deprecated MAXTIME) control are required to be reproduced exactly. This control is necessary because of the inherent difficulty in terminating algorithmic software in a consistent way using temporal criteria. The control value relates to the number of times the optimizer checks the TIMELIMIT criterion up to and including the check when the termination was activated. To use the control the user first must obtain the value of the CHECKSONMAXTIME attribute after the run returns. This attribute value is the number of times the optimizer checked the TIMELIMIT criterion during the last call to the optimization routine mipOptimize. Note that this attribute value will be negative if the optimizer terminated on the TIMELIMIT criterion. To ensure that a reproduction of a run terminates in the same way the user should first ensure that TIMELIMIT is set to its default value or to a large value so the run does not terminate again on TIMELIMIT and then simply set the control MAXCHECKSONMAXTIME to the absolute value of the CHECKSONMAXTIME value.
	MaxCutTime	The maximum amount of time allowed for generation of cutting planes and reoptimization. The limit is checked during generation and no further cuts are added once this limit has been exceeded.
	MaxIIS	This function controls the number of Irreducible Infeasible Sets to be found using the iISAll (IIS-a).
	MaxImpliedBound	Presolve: When tighter bounds are calculated during MIP preprocessing, only bounds whose absolute value are smaller than MAXIMPLIEDBOUND will be applied to the problem.

	MaxLocalBacktrack	Branch-and-Bound: How far back up the current dive path the optimizer is allowed to look for a local backtrack candidate node.
	MaxMCoeffBufferElems	The maximum number of matrix coefficients to buffer before flushing into the internal representation of the problem. Buffering coefficients can offer a significant performance gain when you are building a matrix using chgCoef or chgMCoef, but can lead to a significant memory overhead for large matrices, which this control allows you to influence.
	MaxMemoryHard	This control sets the maximum amount of memory in megabytes the optimizer should allocate. If this limit is exceeded, the solve will terminate. This control is designed to make the optimizer stop in a controlled manner, so that the problem object is valid once termination occurs. The solve state will be set to incomplete. This is different to an out of memory condition in which case the optimizer returns an error. The optimizer may still allocate memory once the limit is exceeded to be able to finsish the operations and stop in a controlled manner. When RESOURCESTRATEGY is enabled, the control also has the same effect as MAXMEMORYSOFT and will cause the optimizer to try preserving memory when possible.
	MaxMemorySoft	When RESOURCESTRATEGY is enabled, this control sets the maximum amount of memory in megabytes the optimizer targets to allocate. This may change the solving path, but will not cause the solve to terminate early. To set a hard version of the same, please set MAXMEMORYHARD.
	MaxMipInfeas	Maximum integer fractionality in the solution.
	MaxMIPSol	Branch and Bound: This specifies a limit on the number of integer solutions to be found by the Optimizer. It is possible that during optimization the Optimizer will find the same objective solution from different nodes. However, MAXMIPSOL refers to the total number of integer solutions found, and not necessarily the number of distinct solutions.
	MaxMipTasks	Branch-and-Bound: The maximum number of tasks to run in parallel during a MIP solve.
	MaxNode	Branch and Bound: The maximum number of nodes that will be explored.

	MaxTreeFileSize	The maximum size, in megabytes, to which the tree file may grow, or 0 for no limit. When the tree file reaches this limit, a second tree file will be created. Useful if you are using a filesystem that puts a maximum limit on the size of a file.
	MCFCutStrategy	Level of Multi-Commodity Flow (MCF) cutting planes separation: This specifies how much aggresively MCF cuts should be separated. If the separation of MCF cuts is enabled, Xpress will try to detect a MCF network structure in the problem and, if such a structure is identified, it will separate specific cutting planes exploiting the identified network.
	MemoryLimitDetected	The detected amount of memory accessible to the solver process, in megabytes. This is the minimum of physical memory, virtual memory limitations, and detected container limitations (Linux only).
	MIPAbsCutoff	Branch and Bound: If the user knows that they are interested only in values of the objective function which are better than some value, this can be assigned to MIPABSCUTOFF. This allows the Optimizer to ignore solving any nodes which may yield worse objective values, saving solution time. When a MIP solution is found a new cut off value is calculated and the value can be obtained from the CURRMIPCUTOFF attribute. The value of CURRMIPCUTOFF is calculated using the MIPRELCUTOFF and MIPADDCUTOFF controls.
	MIPAbsGapNotify	Branch and bound: if the gapnotify callback has been set using addCbGapNotify, then this callback will be triggered during the tree search when the absolute gap reaches or passes the value you set of the MIPRELGAPNOTIFY control.
	MIPAbsGapNotifyBound	Branch and bound: if the gapnotify callback has been set using addCbGapNotify, then this callback will be triggered during the tree search when the best bound reaches or passes the value you set of the MIPRELGAPNOTIFYBOUND control.
	MIPAbsGapNotifyObj	Branch and bound: if the gapnotify callback has been set using addCbGapNotify, then this callback will be triggered during the tree search when the best solution value reaches or passes the value you set of the MIPRELGAPNOTIFYOBJ control.
	MIPAbsStop	Branch and Bound: The absolute tolerance determining whether the tree search will continue or not. It will terminate if    |MIPOBJVAL - BESTBOUND| <= MIPABSSTOP where MIPOBJVAL is the value of the best solution's objective function, and BESTBOUND is the current best solution bound. For example, to stop the tree search when a MIP solution has been found and the Optimizer can guarantee it is within 100 of the optimal solution, set MIPABSSTOP to 100.
	MIPAddCutoff	Branch and Bound: The amount to add to the objective function of the best integer solution found to give the new CURRMIPCUTOFF. Once an integer solution has been found whose objective function is equal to or better than CURRMIPCUTOFF, improvements on this value may not be interesting unless they are better by at least a certain amount. If MIPADDCUTOFF is nonzero, it will be added to CURRMIPCUTOFF each time an integer solution is found which is better than this new value. This cuts off sections of the tree whose solutions would not represent substantial improvements in the objective function, saving processor time. The control MIPABSSTOP provides a similar function but works in a different way.
	MIPBestObjVal	Objective function value of the best integer solution found.
	MipComponents	Determines whether disconnected components in a MIP should be solved as separate MIPs. There can be significant performence benefits from solving disconnected components individual instead of being part of the main branch-and-bound search.
	MipConcurrentNodes	Sets the node limit for when a winning solve is selected when concurrent MIP solves are enabled. When multiple MIP solves are started, they each run up to the MIPCONCURRENTNODES node limit and only one winning solve is selected for contuinuing the search with.
	MipConcurrentSolves	Selects the number of concurrent solves to start for a MIP. Each solve will use a unique random seed for its random number generator, but will otherwise apply the same user controls. The first concurrent solve to complete will have solved the MIP and all the concurrent solves will be terminated at this point. Using concurrent solves can be advantageous when a MIP displays a high level of performance variability.
	MIPDualReductions	Branch and Bound: Limits operations that can reduce the MIP solution space.
	MIPEnts	Number of MIP entities (i.e. binary, integer, semi-continuous, partial integer, and semi-continuous integer variables) but excluding the number of special ordered sets.
	MipFracReduce	Branch and Bound: Specifies how often the optimizer should run a heuristic to reduce the number of fractional integer variables in the node LP solutions.

	MIPKappaFreq	Branch and Bound: Specifies how frequently the basis condition number (also known as kappa) should be calculated during the branch-and-bound search.
	MIPLog	MIP log print control.
	MIPObjVal	Objective function value of the last integer solution found.
	MIPPresolve	Branch and Bound: Type of integer processing to be performed. If set to 0, no processing will be performed. This is a bit-vector control (see Section ).
	MipRampup	Controls the strategy used by the parallel MIP solver during the ramp-up phase of a branch-and-bound tree search.
	MipRefineIterLimit	This defines an effort limit expressed as simplex iterations for the MIP solution refiner. The limit is per reoptimizations in the MIP refiner.
	MIPRelCutoff	Branch and Bound: Percentage of the incumbent value to be added to the value of the objective function when an integer solution is found, to give the new value of CURRMIPCUTOFF. The effect is to cut off the search in parts of the tree whose best possible objective function would not be substantially better than the current solution. The control MIPRELSTOP provides a similar functionality but works in a different way.
	MIPRelGapNotify	Branch and bound: if the gapnotify callback has been set using addCbGapNotify, then this callback will be triggered during the branch and bound tree search when the relative gap reaches or passes the value you set of the MIPRELGAPNOTIFY control.
	MIPRelStop	Branch and Bound: This determines when the branch and bound tree search will terminate. Branch and bound tree search will stop if:    |MIPOBJVAL - BESTBOUND| <= MIPRELSTOP x max(|BESTBOUND|,|MIPOBJVAL|) where MIPOBJVAL is the value of the best solution's objective function and BESTBOUND is the current best solution bound. For example, to stop the tree search when a MIP solution has been found and the Optimizer can guarantee it is within 5% of the optimal solution, set MIPRELSTOP to 0.05.
	MipRestart	Branch and Bound: controls strategy for in-tree restarts.
	MIPRestartFactor	Branch and Bound: Fine tune initial conditions to trigger an in-tree restart. Use a value > 1 to increase the aggressiveness with which the Optimizer restarts. Use a value < 1 to relax the aggressiveness with which the Optimizer restarts. Note that this control does not affect the initial condition on the gap, which must be set separately.
	MIPRestartGapThreshold	Control MIPRESTARTGAPTHRESHOLD.
	MIPSolNode	Node at which the last integer feasible solution was found.
	MIPSols	Number of integer solutions that have been found.
	MIPSolTime	Time at which the last integer feasible solution was found.
	MIPStatus	(MIP) solution status.

	MPSFormat	Specifies the format of MPS files.

As with all string controls, this is of length 64 characters plus a null terminator, \0.
	MPSRangeName	When reading an MPS file, this control determines which entries from the RANGES section will be read. As with all string controls, this is of length 64 characters plus a null terminator, \0.

This presolve operation can be disabled as part of the (advanced) IP reductions PRESOLVEOPS.
	PreConvertObjToCons	Presolve: convert a linear or quadratic objective function into an objective transfer constraint

	PreProbing	Presolve: Amount of probing to perform on binary variables during presolve. This is done by fixing a binary to each of its values in turn and analyzing the implications.
	PreProtectDual	Presolve: specifies whether the presolver should protect a given dual solution by maintaining the same level of dual feasibility. Enabling this control often results in a worse presolved model. This control only expected to be optionally enabled before calling crossoverLpSol.
	PreRootEffort	Dial for the work spent during the Pre-root parallel heuristic phase. A positive value sets a suitable work limit that is dependent on problem-characteristics. Changing the value up/or down dials the work spent in this phase up or down. This control also enables/disables Pre-root parallel heuristics.
	PreRootThreads	Specifies an explicit number of threads that should be used for the Pre-root parallel heuristic phase. By default, this phase will use all threads available to the solver (as governed by the control THREADS).

	PricingAlg	Simplex: This determines the primal simplex pricing method. It is used to select which variable enters the basis on each iteration. In general Devex pricing requires more time on each iteration, but may reduce the total number of iterations, whereas partial pricing saves time on each iteration, but may result in more iterations.
	PrimalDualIntegral	Value of the primal-dual integral.
	PrimalInfeas	Number of primal infeasibilities.
	PrimalOps	Primal simplex: allows fine tuning the variable selection in the primal simplex solver.
	PrimalPerturb	The factor by which the problem will be perturbed prior to optimization by primal simplex. A value of 0.0 results in no perturbation prior to optimization. Note the interconnection to the AUTOPERTURB control. If AUTOPERTURB is set to 1, the decision whether to perturb or not is left to the Optimizer. When the problem is automatically perturbed in primal simplex, however, the value of PRIMALPERTURB will be used for perturbation.
	PrimalUnshift	Determines whether primal is allowed to call dual to unshift.
	PseudoCost	Branch and Bound: The default pseudo cost used in estimation of the degradation associated with an unexplored node in the tree search.

	RefineOps	This specifies when the solution refiner should be executed to reduce solution infeasibilities. The refiner will attempt to satisfy the target tolerances for all original linear constraints before presolve or scaling has been applied.
	RelaxTreeMemoryLimit	When the memory used by the branch and bound search tree exceeds the target specified by the TREEMEMORYLIMIT control, the optimizer will try to reduce this by writing nodes to the tree file. In rare cases, usually where the solve has many millions of very small nodes, the tree structural data (which cannot be written to the tree file) will grow large enough to approach or exceed the tree's memory target. When this happens, optimizer performance can degrade greatly as the solver makes heavy use of the tree file in preference to memory. To prevent this, the solver will automatically relax the tree memory limit when it detects this case; the RELAXTREEMEMORYLIMIT control specifies the proportion of the previous memory limit by which to relax it. Set RELAXTREEMEMORYLIMIT to 0.0 to force the Xpress Optimizer to never relax the tree memory limit in this way.
	RelPivotTol	Simplex: At each iteration a pivot element is chosen within a given column of the matrix. The relative pivot tolerance, RELPIVOTTOL, is the size of the element chosen relative to the largest possible pivot element in the same column.

	Sifting	Determines whether to enable sifting algorithm with the dual simplex method.

	Time	Time spent solving the problem as measured by the optimizer.
	TimeLimit	The maximum time in seconds that the Optimizer will run before it terminates, including the problem setup time and solution time. For MIP problems, this is the total time taken to solve all nodes.
	TotalMemory	The amount of dynamically allocated heap memory by the optimizer, including all problems currently exsisting.
	Trace	Display the infeasibility diagnosis during presolve. If non-zero, an explanation of the logical deductions made by presolve to deduce infeasibility or unboundedness will be displayed on screen or sent to the message callback function.
	TreeCompletion	Estimation of the relative completion of the search tree as fraction between 0 and 1. Its accuracy mainly depends on the level of degeneracy of a problem and the balancedness of the search tree.
	TreeCompression	When writing nodes to the gloal file, the optimizer can try to use data-compression techniques to reduce the size of the tree file on disk. The TREECOMPRESSION control determines the strength of the data-compression algorithm used; higher values give superior data-compression at the affect of decreasing performance, while lower values compress quicker but not as effectively. Where TREECOMPRESSION is set to 0, no data compression will be used on the tree file.
	TreeCoverCuts	Branch and Bound: The number of rounds of lifted cover inequalities generated at nodes other than the root node in the tree. Compare with the description for COVERCUTS. A value of -1 indicates the number of rounds is determined automatically.
	TreeCutSelect	A bit-vector (see Section ) providing detailed control of the cuts created during the tree search of a MIP solve. Use CUTSELECT to control cuts on the root node.
	TreeDiagnostics	A bit-vector (see Section ) providing control over how various tree-management-related messages get printed in the tree log file during the branch-and-bound search.
	TreeFileLogInterval	This control sets the interval between progress messages output while writing tree data to the tree file, in seconds. The solve is slowed greatly while data is being written to the tree file and this output allows the user to see how much progress is being made.
	TreeFileSize	The allocated size of the tree file, in megabytes. Because data can be removed from the tree file during the branch and bound search, the size of the tree file is usually greater than the amount of data currently within it (represented by the TREEFILEUSAGE attribute).
	TreeFileUsage	The number of megabytes of data from the branch-and-bound tree that have been saved to the tree file. Note that the actual allocated size of the tree file (represented by the TREEFILESIZE attribute) may be greater than this value.
	TreeGomCuts	Branch and Bound: The number of rounds of Gomory cuts generated at nodes other than the first node in the tree. Compare with the description for GOMCUTS. A value of -1 indicates the number of rounds is determined automatically.
	TreeMemoryLimit	A soft limit, in megabytes, for the amount of memory to use in storing the branch and bound search tree. This doesn't include memory used for presolve, heuristics, solving the LP relaxation, etc. When set to 0 (the default), the optimizer will calculate a limit automatically based on the amount of free physical memory detected in the machine. When the memory used by the branch and bound tree exceeds this limit, the optimizer will try to reduce the memory usage by writing lower-rated sections of the tree to a file called the "tree file". Though the solve can continue if it cannot bring the tree memory usage below the specified limit, performance will be inhibited and a message will be printed to the log.
	TreeMemorySavingTarget	When the memory used by the branch-and-bound search tree exceeds the limit specified by the TREEMEMORYLIMIT control, the optimizer will try to save memory by writing lower-rated sections of the tree to the tree file. The target amount of memory to save will be enough to bring memory usage back below the limit, plus enough extra to give the tree room to grow. The TREEMEMORYSAVINGTARGET control specifies the extra proportion of the tree's size to try to save; for example, if the tree memory limit is 1000Mb and TREEMEMORYSAVINGTARGET is 0.1, when the tree size exceeds 1000Mb the optimizer will try to reduce the tree size to 900Mb. Reducing the value of TREEMEMORYSAVINGTARGET will cause less extra nodes of the tree to be written to the tree file, but will result in the memory saving routine being triggered more often (as the tree will have less room in which to grow), which can reduce performance. Increasing the value of TREEMEMORYSAVINGTARGET will cause additional, more highly-rated nodes, of the tree to be written to the tree file, which can cause performance issues if these nodes are required later in the solve.
	TreeMemoryUsage	The amount of physical memory, in megabytes, currently being used to store the branch-and-bound search tree.
	TreeQCCuts	Branch and Bound: Limit on the number of rounds of outer approximation cuts generated for nodes other than the root node, when solving a mixed integer quadratic constrained or mixed integer second order conic problem with outer approximation.
	TreeRestarts	Number of in-tree restarts performed.
	TunerHistory	Tuner: Whether to reuse and append to previous tuner results of the same problem.
	TunerMaxTime	Tuner: The maximum time in seconds that the tuner will run before it terminates.
	TunerMethod	Tuner: Selects a factory tuner method. A tuner method consists of a list of controls with different settings that the tuner will evaluate and try to combine.
	TunerMethodFile	Tuner: Defines a file from which the tuner can read user-defined tuner method.
	TunerMode	Tuner: Whether to always enable the tuner or disable it.
	TunerOutput	Tuner: Whether to output tuner results and logs to the file system.
	TunerOutputPath	Tuner: Defines a root path to which the tuner writes the result file and logs.
	TunerPermute	Tuner: Defines the number of permutations to solve for each control setting.
	TunerSessionName	Tuner: Defines a session name for the tuner.
	TunerTarget	Tuner: Defines the tuner target -- what should be evaluated when comparing two runs with different control settings.
	TunerThreads	Tuner: the number of threads used by the tuner.
	TunerVerbose	Tuner: whether the tuner should prints detailed information for each run.
	UserSolHeuristic	Determines how much effort to put into running a local search heuristic to find a feasible integer solution from a partial or infeasible user solution.
	UUID	Universally Unique Identifier for the problem instance.
	VarSelection	Branch and Bound: This determines the formula used to calculate the estimate of each integer variable, and thus which integer variable is selected to be branched on at a given node. The variable selected to be branched on is the one with the maximum estimate.
	Version	The Optimizer version number, e.g. 1301 meaning release 13.01.
	Work	Amount of deterministic algorithmic "work" spent since the invocation of the search process. Work is measured in work units. In contrast with TIME, WORK is deterministic. It is also independent of the platform and hardware used. At the end of a search, the optimizer reports both the accumulated total work as well as the speed at which WORK has been accumulated (measured in work units per second) in the log file. The accumulation of work depends on the size of the model being solved, the involved algorithms, and the stage of the search.
	WorkLimit	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.
	XpressVersion	The Xpress version number.
