that big (not small either).<br>Could it be that a certain move is taken twice within the same step (as part of score trap?) which results in the same constraint occurrence?<br><br>I have one other question - maybe related:<br>In my configuration I have this:<br><br> <acceptor><br> <planningEntityTabuSize>7</planningEntityTabuSize> <!-- I tested with lower values (5, 3) too --><br> </acceptor><br> <forager><br> <pickEarlyType>FIRST_BEST_SCORE_IMPROVING</pickEarlyType><br> <minimalAcceptedSelection>1000</minimalAcceptedSelection><br> </forager><br><br>Because of the forager
configuration a step is sometimes taken after as little as 40 moves, but sometimes the number of moves grows to enormous amounts.<br>I think if that happens that the score is no longer improving.<br>Is it "normal" that a certain step can make +50k moves and counting?<br>Or does indicate once more to a score trap?<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Michiel<br> <br></div><div>-----------------<br>http://www.codessentials.com - Your essential software, for free!<br>Follow us at http://twitter.com/#!/Codessentials</div></div></body></html>
