Dear Robert, Following your recommandation, I tryed: gurobi\_options 'nodefilestart=0.5 and also gurobi\_options 'nodefilestart=3 and also gurobi\_options 'nodefilestart=0.0005 But I have still the same error message. Please find attached the log for gurobi\_options 'nodefilestart=0.0005. That do you think I can do to avoid to exhaust the memory available on the computer? Best regards, [log.vivi\_2.dat](https://discuss.ampl.com/uploads/short-url/c2Jf3begMATwV7ySc4UGhMMPQ04.dat) (113.5 KB) ---

As explained in my reply to your other thread, Gurobi is running out of memory before it can even start to create any search nodes. Thus it cannot write a node file, and the nodefilestart setting is ignored. ---
