History

Date	Gap	Lower Bound	Tour
10.6.02			45466 - Best of 10 runs of LKH, each with n trials. Total running time 177702 seconds on an AMD Althlon 1900+ processor (1.6 GHz).
2.2.03			45465 - Found by Keld Helsgaun, using a variant of LKH.
3.3.03			45464 - Found by Hung Dinh Nguyen using a parallel hybrid genetic algorithm. The running time was 39658 seconds on a Sun Ultra 80 with four 450-MHz processors (taking the best of five runs).
9.8.06			45462 - Found by Keld Helsgaun using LKH.
22.4.17	0.026%	45450 - Concorde (-Z1 -J4), using CPLEX as an LP solver. Wall-clock time for the branch-and-cut search was 3.8 days on a 48-core Intel Xeon E5-2620 @ 2.00GHz cluster; search tree contained 3,101 nodes.

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.
