ObjScale

Objective scaling
 Type: double
 Default value: 0.0
 Minimum value: -1
 Maximum value: Infinity

Divides the model objective by the specified value to avoid numerical errors that may result from very large objective coefficients. The default value of 0 decides on the scaling automatically. A value less than zero uses the maximum coefficient to the specified power as the scaling (so ObjScale=-0.5 would scale by the square root of the largest objective coefficient).

Objective scaling can be useful when the objective contains extremely large values, but it can also lead to large dual violations, so it should be used sparingly.
