News - Xpress Parallel-MIP 100% performance improvement

Xpress Parallel-MIP harnesses the power of multi-core machines to give impressive performance improvements over a large set of models

Multi-core computers are now commonplace however it is often the case that legacy software can only use one of the available cores, wasting valuable computing resources. Xpress Parallel-MIP can spread the task of solving a single problem across multiple cpu cores leading to dramatic reductions in solve time for many models.

Dash has taken a subset from its standard QA set of problems that solve in less than 30 minutes and require more than 100 nodes to solve. The following results were obtained using pre-release 2007A on an Intel QX6700 Quad core CPU clocked at 3GHz.

	1 thread	2 threads	4 threads
Total Solve Time	13418 secs	8713 secs	6717 secs
Total % improvement		54%	100%
Average % improvement		89%	144%
