scaling MILP using pulp and cplex
The solution time is not just a function of the number of variables and equations. Basically, you just have to try it out. No one can predict how much time is needed to solve your problem.
i have a MILP with ~3000 binaries, 300000 continuous variables and ~1MM constraints. I am trying to solve this on the VM how long could it potentially take on a 16 core 128 gig machine? also what are the general limits of creating problems using  pulp that cplex solver can handle on such a machine? any insights would be appreciated
