To get the total solve time (in wall clock time), you can use the get_time method. To get the value for "Network time", as displayed in the log output, you'll have to parse the log output. Here's an example that demonstrates both of these:
from __future__ import print_function
import sys
import cplex
class OutputProcessor(object):
"""File-like object that processes CPLEX output."""
def __init__(self):
self.network_time = None
def write(self, line):
if line.find("Network time =") >= 0:
tokens = line.split()
try:
# Expecting the time to be the fourth token. E.g.,
# "Network", "time", "=", "0.48", "sec.", ...
self.network_time = float(tokens[3])
except ValueError:
print("WARNING: Failed to parse network time!")
print(line, end='')
def flush(self):
sys.stdout.flush()
def main():
c = cplex.Cplex()
outproc = OutputProcessor()
# Intercept the results stream with our output processor.
c.set_results_stream(outproc)
# Read in a model file (required command line argument). This is
# purely an example, thus no error handling.
c.read(sys.argv[1])
c.parameters.lpmethod.set(c.parameters.lpmethod.values.network)
start_time = c.get_time()
c.solve()
end_time = c.get_time()
print("Total solve time (sec.):", end_time - start_time)
print("Network time (sec.):", outproc.network_time)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
That should give you an idea of how to parse out other pieces of information from the log (it is not meant to be an example of a sophisticated parser).
You may be interested in get_dettime as well; it can be used the same way as get_time (as above), but is not susceptible to the load on your machine.
