clock type for computation time

Decides how computation times are measured for both reporting performance and terminating optimization when a time limit has been set.

Purpose

Clock type for computation time

API Parameter Name Name prior to V12.6.0

C++ IloCplex::Param::ClockType ClockType (int)
OPL clocktype
Interactive clocktype clocktype
Identifier 1006 1006

Description

Decides how computation times are measured for both reporting performance and terminating optimization when a time limit has been set. Small variations in measured time on identical runs may be expected on any computer system with any setting of this parameter.

The default setting 2 supports wall clock time.

Value Meaning
0 Automatic: let CPLEX choose
1 CPU time
2 Wall clock time (total physical time elapsed); default
