Masud Rana

You can interrupt in the middle. But I don't think you can resume it. It shows some error you need start solution after clearing generated data.

Hardik Mistry

Thanks Masud Rana

The idea is to pause the solution whenever required and then resuming it.

This facility may be very helpful when solution is being done on remote clusters.
