This manual page briefly documents the symphony command.

symphony is a generic MILP solver that can be invoked from the command line (through an interactive shell or in a batch mode), or by linking to the provided callable library. When no options are given symphony enters the interactive shell mode. Otherwise the program enters the batch mode, for which a summary of options is included below.

At a minimum, one must specify the name of the file to be read and solved.

-h

help

-a

no cut timeout

-d

enable graph drawing

-g

use cut generator

-r

do repricing in root

-t

trim the tree

-b

don't perform branch and cut

-u ub

use upper bound 'ub'

-p procs

allow 'procs' active nodes

-n i

use node selection rule 'i'

-v i

set verbosity to level 'i'

-s cands

use 'cands' candidates for strong branching

-k i

use rule 'i' to select child

-m n

allow a max of 'n' cuts to enter per iteration

-e n

allow a max of 'n' cut pools

-l n k

load balance level 'n' and iterations 'k'

-i n

allow a max of 'n' iterations in presolve

-f file

read parameters from parameter file 'file'

-j 0/1

whether or not to generate cgl cuts

-z n

set diving threshold to 'n'

-o file

output vbc-like tree information to file 'file'

Solver-specific switches:

symphony [ -H ] [ -FL file ]

-H

help (solver-specific switches)

-F model

model should be read in from file 'model' (MPS format is assumed unless -D is also present)

-L model

LP format model should be read in from file 'model'

-D data

model is in AMPL format and data is in file 'data'
