* The constructor mainly does the following:
* - create an IloCplex instance that refers to a remote worker,
* - load the model in <code>modelfile</code>,
* - setup parameters depending on this worker's index,
* - start an asynchronous solve.
* If anything fails then an exception will be thrown.
* @param env The environment used for instantiating Ilo* objects.
* @param i The index of the worker to be created. This also
* determines the parameter settings to use in this worker.
* @param s A pointer to the global solve state.
* @param transport The transport name for the IloCplex constructor.
* @param argc The argument count for the IloCplex constructor.
* @param argv The array of transport arguments for the IloCplex
* constructor.
* @param modelfile Name of the model to be loaded into the worker.
* @param output The output mode.
* @param objdiff The minimal difference between so that two
* consecutive objective function values are considered
