Hi @Wanie Saidi. Very likely CPLEX ran out of memory (because the Peak Memory usage by CPLEX is higher than the Memory Free).

There are some ways to reduce the memory usage by CPLEX:

1. Set the CPLEX option ‘Node file’ to 'On disk and compressed'. However, your hard disk should then have sufficient free space; at least 50 Gb but more preferably.
2. Enabling the AIMMS Presolver, by switching on the Solvers General option ‘Linear presolve’, sometimes helps to (drastically) reduce the memory usage by CPLEX. For this you need AIMMS 4.89 or newer.
3. Reduce the number of threads used by CPLEX by setting the CPLEX option ‘Global thread limit’ to 4 or 6. However, this likely will increase the solving time.
4. Make the model formulation more tight such that CPLEX needs less nodes to solve the model. But this is not easy. See the paper Practical guidelines for solving difficult mixed integer linear programs by Ed Klotz and Alexandra M.Newman (2013) for more information.

I strongly recommend to print the CPLEX status file by setting the following options:

• Solvers General option 'Solver listing messages' to 'All'
• CPLEX option 'MIP display' to 'Nth node + info on node cuts'
• CPLEX option 'Parameter display' to 'Yes'

The CPLEX status file will be printed in the log folder. It contains useful information about the solving process (see also the paper mentioned before).

Noted. Thanks a lot @Marcel Hunting !
