I can click on the results and see how they are coming out
In future versions, I would like to see them include different kinds of optimization problem techniques. The performance could also be faster. One more thing that I would like to see added is the ability to find out how much time other solvers take. I know that CPLEX is one of the solvers, but it would be very helpful to be able to figure out what I need in order to optimize my quota in the runtime of a particular problem.
