Using Parallel Optimizers in the Interactive Optimizer

  1. If necessary for your platform, set any environment variable needed for parallel operation. See "Threads" for details.
  2. Start the parallel CPLEX Interactive Optimizer with the command cplex at the operating system prompt.
  3. Set the thread-limit, as explained in Threads.
  4. Enter and populate your problem object as usual.
  5. Call the parallel optimizer with the appropriate command:

    Parallel MIP Optimizer 
    mipopt 
    Parallel Barrier Optimizer 
    baropt 
    Parallel Simplex Optimizer 
    primopt or tranopt
