Hi,
In the GLPK documentation, paragraph "2.1.3 Thread Safety" states:
"The standard version of GLPK API is not thread safe and therefore should not be used in multi-threaded programs.”
Does it mean that two threads can not solve two independent LP/MIP simultaneously?
For example, I am running a multi-threaded program where each thread is solving a different MIP, and I am experiencing a segmentation fault.
I tried to analyzed the problem with GDB and looks like the seg fault is happening when one thread free the memory of its own MIP.
Could the non-thread safety be the reason of the segmentation fault?
I put the function call that creates and solves the MIP within a mutex lock/unlock and the segmentation fault is not happening, so I guess that answers my question.
But if that’s the reason, is there a workaround or thread-safe GLPK version?
The mutex reduces heavily the performance of my program.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Simone
