CPU time of first time to reach optimal solution

Dear community,

I am wondering how to get the CPU time of first time to reach optimal solution. I use python API. Use the example below, in this case, the wall clock time of first found optimal solution is 2s, which is bolded in the last column. (Because that is the time when incumbent obj (bolded in the same line as 2s) first equals to the optimal solution (bolded in the last line in the log)). I need to find out how to identify and return the CPU time corresponding to that bolded '2s'. Is there a way to do that?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

You can use callbacks to get the information you seek. You could either use the MIPSOL callback which is called whenever a new incumbent solution is found and ask for the RUNTIME. Or you could just use the MESSAGE callback and scan for an 'H' or '*' and then ask for the RUNTIME.

Best regards,
