Hi,I return to the question because I still can't use the parallel search, i used the same commandline options in the gecode example (chapter 3) as you advice me. When i run the example "Golumb ruler" it works perfectly. Here is what i'm using in my model : /***/branch(*this, var, INT_VAR_DEGREE_MAX(), INT_VAL_MAX());/***/Options opt("Solutions : \n");opt.solutions(0);opt.parse(argc,argv); Model* m = new Model(opt);BAB<Model> bab(m);delete m; while (Model* s = bab.next()) { s->print(); delete s;}/***/and i run the model using the command : ./Model -threads 4 If you have some ideas, it will be very helpful.Thanks.------------ From: cschu...@kth.se To: medis...@hotmail.fr; gt...@odiug.de; users@gecode.org Subject: RE: [gecode-users] Parallel search Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:29:25 +0100
Well, if you want the commandline options to work, you will have to use a setup as in the Gecode example (check Chapter 3 in MPG). If you do it otherwise, read Section 9.3.1 in MPG.

Do i need to add something else to the code ? Thanks.

If yes, it is possible that it's just a peculiarity of your model, i.e., that it simply doesn't parallelise well. You can try different search strategies, that can sometimes make a difference for parallelisation as well.

If you have some details about this, it will be helpful.
