History

Date	Gap	Lower Bound	Tour
4.29.02	Optimal	4956 - Concorde (defaults), using QSopt as an LP solver. The run was carried out on a single AMD Althlon 1900+ processor (1.6 GHz), in 1685.0 seconds, using 37 nodes in the branch-and-bound tree.	4956 - Found during branching run by Lin-Kernighan heuristic.

Notes

1. Concorde is our linear-programming based TSP solver.

2. linkern is an implementation of Martin, Otto, and Felten's Chained Lin-Kernighan heuristic. It is included in the Concorde code.

3. LKH is Keld Helsgaun's powerful implementation of the Lin-Kernighan heuristic.
