callback_vb.vb

' Copyright 2023, Gurobi Optimization, LLC

'   This example reads a model from a file, sets up a callback that
'   monitors optimization progress and implements a custom
'   termination strategy, and outputs progress information to the
'   screen and to a log file.
'
'   The termination strategy implemented in this callback stops the
'   optimization of a MIP model once at least one of the following two
'   conditions have been satisfied:
'     1) The optimality gap is less than 10%
'     2) At least 10000 nodes have been explored, and an integer feasible
'        solution has been found.
'   Note that termination is normally handled through Gurobi parameters
'   (MIPGap, NodeLimit, etc.).  You should only use a callback for
'   termination if the available parameters don't capture your desired
'   termination criterion.
