If you find that the Gurobi optimizer exhausts memory when solving a MIP, you should modify the `NodefileStart` parameter. When the amount of memory used to store nodes (measured in GB, i.e., $10^9$ bytes) exceeds the specified parameter value, nodes are compressed and written to disk. We recommend a setting of 0.5, but you may wish to choose a different value, depending on the memory available in your machine. By default, nodes are written to the current working directory. The `NodefileDir` parameter can be used to choose a different location. If you still exhaust memory after setting the `NodefileStart` parameter to a small value, you should try limiting the thread count. Each thread in parallel MIP requires a copy of the model, as well as several other large data structures. Reducing the `Threads` parameter can sometimes significantly reduce memory usage. Note: Only affects mixed integer programming (MIP) models
