I’m solving a linear problem with amplpy and gurobi. As shown below, the work time (cpu time) required by Gurobi is 0.12 seconds. However, the times I get from ampl (solve\_time, etc) are different. Is there a way to access the work time reported by Gurobi?
solve\_time= 0.560407
solve\_user\_time = 0.5321859999999999
ampl\_elapsed\_time = 0.7073279999999997
solve\_elapsed\_time = 0.5976950000000001

Hi @salvapineda,
We have just released Gurobi 20240311 ([GUROBI Changelog — AMPL Resources](https://dev.ampl.com/solvers/gurobi/changes.html)) and this version adds the option `tech:reportwork` ([GUROBI Options — AMPL Resources](https://dev.ampl.com/solvers/gurobi/options.html)) that when set to 1, returns the work ammount reported by Gurobi as a problem suffix (If you don’t have problem definitions, the default problem is `Initial`).
You can use this feature as follows:
```python
ampl = AMPL()
...
ampl.solve(solver="gurobi", gurobi_options="outlev=1 tech:reportwork=1")
print("Work:", ampl.get_value("Initial.work"))
```
Please let us know if you encounter any issues using it!
