WorkerPool

Pool of machines to use for distributed algorithms
Type: string
Default value: ""

When using a distributed algorithm (distributed MIP, distributed concurrent, or distributed tuning), this parameter allows you to specify a comma-separated list of machines that can be used as workers. These machines must be running Gurobi Remote Services. You can refer to these workers using their names or their IP addresses. You should specify the access password, if there is one, in the WorkerPassword parameter.

To give an example, if you have two machines named server1.mydomain.com and server2.mydomain.com, with IP addresses 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101, you could set the WorkerPool to "server1.mydomain.com,server2.mydomain.com" or "192.168.1.100,192.168.1.101".

As shown in the examples above, when specifying multiple machines, the next machine should immediately follow the comma separator. You should not include any spaces before, after, or between, machine names or IP addresses.
