Hello Chris !

I've add my fix of avl_tree to your code and compiled it and it segfaults due to try insert a duplicate node.

A brief description of the changes is in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-glpk/2018-02/msg00018.html - those considerably increased the number of miplib problems that can be solved, in particular using pseudocost branching. Do ask if you have any specific questions, but it was some time ago so it will take me a bit to dig up the details.

Note that for problems like the one you are using with lots of binary variables, a pre-processing technique called probing is very effective but not available in GLPK. I have a draft implementation but I'm not very happy with it, so it isn't committed to my tree.

Hello Chris !

Thank you for reply !

Can you describe in a few lines what your improvements achieved ?

I've been looking at your changes and found that you've bitten by "src/env/avl.c" avl_tree do not reject duplicate keys but do not provide a way to recover duplicates, I fixed this here https://github.com/mingodad/GLPK/commit/502da3ae23ffb4c1731cc437fd6b420ac82443d5 and I found it while trying to update your code to work with splay_tree.

See this thread https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-glpk/2020-08/msg00018.html .

Comparing your glpsol with mine solving hashi.mod we get this:

Hello !

Testing GLPK I left it solving examples/lie_goe.mod for more than 2
hours and it didn't found a solution (wasm and native) then I stopped
then and tried with cplex/gurobi/xpress/scip all of then gives a
solution instantly (except scip that takes 3s).

The difference is so big, have someone managed through command line
options or other means managed to get a solution quickly with glpsol ?

Any idea of how to improve GLPK to not be so behind ?

Cheers !
