Hi,

Have you seen this latest Mixed Integer Linear Programming Benchmark
(MIPLIB2010) by Hans Mittelmann?

I wonder why GLPK is not scoring high in this benchmarking.

GLPK is actually quite fast / reasonable in solving my MIP models in
Mac OS X (64 bit, 8 Gb, quad-core CPU, 2.4 Ghz) -- Macbookpro retina -
base model.

CBC is not bad in this benchmarkiing.

CBC is trying to use MathProg (GMPL) according to this posting
(below), it is able to read MathProg / GMPL models but not reading
back the results.

It would be nice to have an alternative MIP solver for MathProg.

Thanks.
