LSParam Class¶

Summary¶

Functions¶

void localsolver::LSParam::setSeed(int seed)¶

Sets the seed of the pseudo-random number generator used by the solver.

The seed must be a positive integer. The default seed is set to 0. Only allowed in states S_Modeling or S_Stopped.

The search for solutions is highly randomized. Fixing the seed and the number of iterations of the solver allows you to reproduce exactly its results over several runs.

Parameters:	seed - Seed of the pseudo-random number generator.

int localsolver::LSParam::getSeed()¶
const

Gets the seed of the pseudo-random number generator used by the solver.

Return:	Seed of the pseudo-random number generator.
See:	setSeed(int)

void localsolver::LSParam::setNbThreads(int nbThreads)¶

Sets the number of threads used to parallelize the search.

The number of threads must be a positive integer. The default number of threads is set to 0 which means that the number of threads is automatically adapted to your computer and to your optimization model. Only allowed in states S_Modeling or S_Stopped. This parameter is indicative, if needed LocalSolver may use more threads. The actual number of threads can also vary during the search.

Parameters:	nbThreads - Number of threads.

int localsolver::LSParam::getNbThreads()¶
const

Gets the number of threads requested by the user.

Return:	Number of threads (by convention, 0 means that the number of threads is automatically adapted to your computer and to your optimization model).
See:	setNbThreads(int)

void localsolver::LSParam::setIterationLimit(long long iterationLimit)¶
