Hi, 

We are solving our ILP problem with Gurobi and are having issues with the run time. We are trying to think of different ways to improve this and are wondering if there would be a difference if we ran on Guropi C instead of Gurobi python

Thanks.

    Hi Kim,

    I don't believe that encoding your model in C rather than Python would change the solver behavior itself.

    Is the runtime long due to the optimization taking so much time?

    If yes, we'd need to have a look at the optimization log to suggest ideas.

    If not, you could try profiling your code to see which parts of model generation consume excessive amounts of time.

    Best regards
    Jonasz
