In `@cpp/src/branch_and_bound/branch_and_bound.cpp`:
- Line 1725: In the plunge-stop branch surrounding fetch_max, decrement
exploration_stats_.nodes_being_solved before requeueing node_ptr and breaking,
so requeued work is no longer counted as actively solved. Add focused gtest
coverage for the three plunge defaults, both omp_atomic_t<int>::fetch_max
outcomes, every plunge termination condition, and the requeue counter
bookkeeping.
Apply the same fix in `@cpp/src/branch_and_bound/branch_and_bound.cpp` around
lines 1779 - 1784.
- Line 1725: Reset exploration_stats_.max_node_depth at the beginning of
branch_and_bound_t::solve(), alongside the other per-solve statistics, so reused
instances do not retain the previous solve’s depth threshold for plunge_with().
In `@cpp/src/utilities/omp_helpers.hpp`:
- Line 222: Update the integer overload fetch_max(omp_atomic_t<int>&, int) to
return int and capture its previous atomic value in an int, preserving the
integer type contract throughout the declaration and implementation.

Shouldn't we add as a member function to omp_atomic_t ?

I think there was a bug in clang found by @aliceb-nv. I will try to put it back

LGTM. But solve time and primal integral are all increasing. Are you sure you want to merge this?

In the current implementation, we let the plunge naturally end (i.e., when it reaches the bottom of the tree and there is no sibling node to backtrack). This PR mirrors SCIP to terminate the plunge early when it exceeded a certain depth or when the local gap becomes too deteriorated, which allows the solver to prioritize exploring more promising parts of the tree first.
Benchmark results:
8x H200, 2x Intel 8480+ 56C/112T, 10min
Overall, this decreases the relative MIP Gap by roughly
~10 to 15%and increase the number of feasible solutions by1.Note that
reblock115was excluded due to crashes on the main branch.Checklist
