30 October 2026 ========================================================= Open Source MIPFEAS Benchmark on the MIPLIB2017 Instances ========================================================= Michael Bussieck, mbussieck@gams.com, assisted by NVIDIA
The 233 feasible benchmark instances of MIPLIB2017 have been used in this new benchmark. The goal is to determine how fast solvers find good feasible solutions in a given time as measured by the PRIMARY INTEGRAL which is defined as where is the optimal solution value, is the incumbent value at time . For a detailed explanation there is a blog post on the GAMS web site.
CBC-2.10.13 CBC
cuOpt-26.10 cuOpt
HiGHS-1.15.1 HiGHS
ReXi-Opt-26.10 ReXi
SCIP(spx)-10.1.0 SCIP
SCIPConc(spx)-11.0.0 SCIPConc
This benchmark also includes the commercial solvers COPT (8.0.7), CPLEX (22.2.0.0), and Xpress (9.9.1). While we cannot publish individual results, the vendors agreed to publish results in an aggregated form. So we present them as the virtual mean commercial solver (VMCS).

We still include out-of-competition cuOpt runs on the B200 (Intel� Xeon� Platinum 8570, 24 threads) purely as a high-end exhibition to show what raw enterprise hardware can do.
