@lpantano @wmegchel @prasunanand I thought that it can be cumbersome to go through all the dependencies with potentially no access to NVIDIA GPU, below I provide a code ocean capsule which is a container with all the dependencies cached. You can also have reproducible runs of an example. https://codeocean.com/capsule/2291048/tree/v1 I hope that this helps your assessment.

[lpantano]

Thanks for this.

@wmegchel and @prasunanand, it is possible to give an update on the reviewing process?

Thanks so much!

[prasunanand]

@marouenbg, @lpantano I am unable to download Dependencies IBM CPLEX v12.6 (free for academics)

@prasunanand Thanks for the feedback. I fixed the missing doi in the summary. Which error did you get when you could not download CPLEX? Otherwise, you can skip the installation part and check an installed version at code ocean https://codeocean.com/capsule/4395814/tree

[prasunanand]

Review done!

Nice work @marouenbg

Thank @prasunanand and @wmegchel for the nice review. I will proceed with acceptance.

@marouenbg could you create a Zenodo archive for your repository and pass me the DOI link? Make sure the author and title match the paper information. Congrats!

[marouenbg]

Awesome! Thanks @prasunanand for the review. @lpantano I need a couple of days to review the text and the we can proceed with the final version. Thank you!

Hi @lpantano I am all set. A math symbol did not compile in the final text, but it is working now. Here is the zenodo doi DOI/10.5281/zenodo.3233085. Thanks to all involved!
