FILO2

FILO2 is an evolution of FILO able to tackle much larger CVRP instances with a very ordinary computing system. Less than ten minutes and 10GB of RAM are enough to execute 100k FILO2 iterations and get a (possibly very bad) solution for an instance with 1 million customers. On the X and B datasets FILO2 behaves pretty much like FILO in terms of quality (sometimes it is even slightly better) but it has a considerably lower time growth rate that becomes very visible for instances with more than 5k customers.

Changes and computational results are described in the draft and in the paper. This repository contains raw results and the algorithm source code.

Updates

The code has received two minor updates related to implementation details (see 1 and 2) that slighly improve the overall computing time of the algorithm compared to the results published in the paper.

Get the code

git clone git@github.com:acco93/filo2.git

Note that the repo includes ≈1.5GB of result files.
