      When i solve the same problem with gams via cbc solver it takes
      30-60 seconds, and not 60 minutes! <br>
      Why?<br>

                  Hi all,<br>
                  <br>
                  i am a student in the final phase of the Milp model
                  which i want to solve.<br>
                  <br>
                  So, i have a milp model<br>
                  columns: 46614<br>
                  integers:&nbsp; 12540 (binary)<br>
                  rows:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 40842<br>
                  nonzeros:117823<br>
                  <br>
                  I tried these simple methods <br>
                  1.<br>
                  <i><small>solver1.loadProblem(numcols, numrows, start,
                      index, value, collb, colub, obj, rowlb, rowub);<br>
                      solver1.initialSolve();<br>
                      solver1.branchAndBound() ;</small></i><br>
                  2.<br>
                  <i><small>solver1.loadProblem(numcols, numrows, start,
                      index, value, collb, colub, obj, rowlb, rowub);<br>
                      CbcModel model(solver1);<br>
                      CbcMain0(model);<br>
                      const char * argv2[]={"DAS","-solve","-quit"};&nbsp;&nbsp; </small></i>-&gt;



                  <u>i don't know what this do.</u><i><small><br>
                      CbcMain1(3,argv2,model);&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
                      <br>
                    </small></i><small><big>Since i am an amateur, can
                      you help me?<br>
                      What method should i use to solve the model? 1,2
                      or something else?<br>
                      Any recommendations?<br>
                      <br>
                      The 1st takes an hour and stops.<br>
                      The 2nd takes either 8' or 35' depending on the
                      data.<br>
                      <br>
                      Your help is much appreciated.<span><font
