[gecode-users] Number of failed nodes

[Mikael Zayenz Lagerkvist]

Hi,

The number of failures is the standard measure used in CP: the number
of times a failure is detected (i.e., the number of failed leaves in
the tree). In the next version of Gecode we have added a counter for
the number of nodes in the search tree in addition. If you want this
information now for some problem, you can also run Gist.

Cheers,
Mikael
