    Hi!

    This is a pretty huge model with lots of nonlinearities (6 million general constraints, 1.4 million quadratic objective terms). It very much looks like you are running out of memory here. You should track/monitor the memory usage while you are running this model to verify that this is the case.

    Generally, you could instruct Gurobi to write out parts of the search tree to reduce the memory requirements. This can be done with the NodefileStart parameter.

    I am not too hopeful that you will find feasible or even optimal solutions to that model - it really appears to be extremely hard to solve, maybe too hard.

    Cheers,
    Matthias

    Yes, linear constraints and objectives are almost always easier to optimize than quadratic or general nonlinear ones.

    Cheers,

    That is very hard to say upfront. It also depends on your model and whether the reformulation still makes sense and provides a meaningful solution.

    Cheers,

    Hi!

    Thanks for the fast response! Actually, my computer has a RAM of 128G, but it still seems not large enough. By the way, I wonder if linear objective terms are easier to optimize than quadratic objective terms?

    Thanks! If I have to choose one from general term (like absolute value) and quadratic term, which one do you think may be easier to solve?

    Hi! I need your help again, and thank you in advance!

    This time I made the variable set smaller with fewer constraints, and I watched the usage of memory by the Task Manager on Windows. The task manager showed that the memory usage didn't exceed 15% (my computer has a RAM of 128G), but the error changed to "Process finished with exit code -1073740940 (0xC0000374)", which is still an error about memory. It really confused me.

    Here is the log:

    That is interesting! Can you try updating your Gurobi version to 10.0.2? And can you also try running this on a different machine, if possible?

    Thanks,
    Matthias
