MIP Start Work Limit
- Type
Floating point number
- Range
[0.0,1e100]
- Default
1e100
This option limits the total work (in work units) spent on completing a partial MIP start.
In contrast to the option MIP Start Time Limit, work limits are deterministic. This means that on the same hardware and with the same option and attribute settings, a work limit will stop the optimization of a given model at the exact same point every time. One work unit corresponds very roughly to one second on a single thread, but this greatly depends on the hardware on which Gurobi is running and the model that is being solved.
Note
MIP starts can also be used for NLP and MINLP models, and therefore this option also applies to these models.
This option was added in Gurobi 13.0.
