<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Very useful info!<br>
<br>
I downloaded Cbc-2.7.5-win64-intel11.1 and run cbc.exe in the bin
folder. <br>
I used 2 methods-commands for solving, branchAndBound and solve.<br>
<br>
They both solved it almost 10 times faster!!!<br>
<br>
Now, to come to a solution, i need to know what's the differnece
between solving with stand alone and simply by calling the solver
via my code which was implemented in MS visual studio 2010..<br>
<br>
If you can help me with this, i would have find the solution to my
big problem!<br>
I am waiting impatiently for your words.<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>

You can find the CBC binaries here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://projects.coin-or.org/CoinBinary">https://projects.coin-or.org/CoinBinary</a> or
(here <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/Cbc/">http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/Cbc/</a>).
You can test different versions
<div><br>
</div>
<div>From the shell you can call the executable binary. Then you
just:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Import MPS file by just typing "import mpsfilename.mps" </div>
<div>2. and then you can solve it just typing "branchAndCut"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then compare the time to solve with the API.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A random google search to find a "recipe" could be (at the
end of page 6): <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div class="ecxmoz-cite-prefix">i have the latest version,
2.7.7....<br>
<br>
I solve it by using the default cbc solver, (i am not
getting involved in the solver) with this way:<br>
<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"}; </small></i><i><small><br>
CbcMain1(3,argv2,model); </small></i><br>
<br>
So, i do not think that it's ommiting the presolve step,
am i wrong?<br>
<br>
Where can i find the latest version, and how can i load
an mps file?<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>

Did you try to solve using CBC CLI (stand alone

<br>
Hi all again,<br>
<br>
I have 1 question for you, if i solve it, i won't
bother you again <span class="ecxmoz-smiley-s4"><span>
:-P </span></span><br>
<br>
I am using cbc in order to make an executable via
MS visual studio which solves a model.<br>
In order to solve it, takes 60 mins<br>
<br>
I have made the same problem with GAMS and solved
it in 30 secs, 120 times faster!!<br>
<br>
Is it because of an error in modeling or due to
the different interface? (exe-GAMS)<br>
<br>
Why is there this enormous difference?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance.<i><small><i><small><br>
