Holiday Tech Talk - Prevent the Grinch from Stealing your Optimization Projects
In this Holiday Tech Talk, we will dive into some very unexpected ways of how Gurobi or applications that called it behaved, be it due to a mistake in the code, creative use of the solver by our users, numerical issues, or something else.

Event Recap
Developing optimization models and making them run successfully frequently depends on the ability to efficiently resolve a handful of potentially time-consuming issues. In this Holiday Tech Talk, we will dive into some very unexpected ways of how Gurobi or applications that called it behaved, be it due to a mistake in the code, creative use of the solver by our users, numerical issues, or something else. We will investigate these examples of Grinch-like behavior that attempt to sabotage the timely completion of the optimization task and examine how they were efficiently identified and solved.
