Pretty cool you got to see this stuff in the real world!

Questions:

1) Was the problem able to be solved with one machine?

2) Was the problem reliably able to be solved within a time-bound, or was it "spiky"?

3) Was the solution all or nothing? Aka would you get a partial/suboptimal solution after a time-bound?

Not an author but

1) It is usually done on a single machine. Often times even on single core.

2) Spikiness of the solve time is a real problem in practice.

3) You get partial solutions but they tend to be fare apart but with great improvements.

Thank you, that's useful!
