1) if a time or node limit is given, there are memory leaks at the end
(see the two attachments valg-out2-200nodes.txt and
valg-out2-10s.txt), but no leak happens when reaching optimalitiy (see
valg-out2.txt); most of these seem to be cuts added through addCuts()
at CbcNodeInfo.cpp:354. I have removed non-Cbc output from these
files.</pre>

Hopefully trunk improves memory leaks on limit.<br>

2) The parallel version seems to use more memory than the single-CPU
version at a given time. A back-to-back solve shows that the parallel
version uses 2x the memory of the sequential one even when they are
exploring the same number of nodes; memory occupation is the same
until the BB starts.</pre>

There will be more memory used - with N threads there will be N
extra copies of solver and each solver will have some/most of cuts.
Are these cuts global? - it would be possible to do better in
handling them (but some work).<br>

It should be emphasized that this solver generates a large number of
cuts, and for some instances after 500,000 nodes it is killed after
using the 240GB memory limit. I could not replicate this with the
console version of parallel cbc with time/node limit on a MILP, so I
suspect I might be doing something wrong. Has anything like this
happened in the past?
Thanks,
Pietro
