In this article, we explain how to use the asynchronous solver sessions in AIMMS to solve multiple mathematical programs simultaneously, each using its own CPU core.



Why use asynchronous solves?



The current engine of AIMMS does not make use of the multiple cores that exist in most modern computers. This means that even if your computer has multiple cores, AIMMS only uses one to execute your project.



However, some solvers support using multiple cores. This means that if you are solving a large LP or MIP problem, a solver like CPLEX or Gurobi use multiple cores in your computer to solve your problem.
