History

Date	Gap	Lower Bound	Tour
2.2.03			6830 - Found by Keld Helsgaun, using a variant of LKH.
18.12.08	Optimal	6830 - Concorde (root node with -mC40 -Z3, branching with -mC24 -J8) using CPlex as an LP solver. The run was carried out on a 2.4 GHx AMD Opteron 250 in Athlon 1900+ in 22646 seconds, using 31 nodes in the branch-and-bound-tree.

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.
