Parallel many dimensional optimization

Question

I am building a script that generates input data [parameters] for another program to calculate. I would like to optimize the resulting data. Previously I have been using the num

Answer 1

I think what you want to do is use the threading capabilities built-in python. Provided you your working function has more or less the same run-time whatever the params, it would be efficient.

Create 8 threads in a pool, run 8 instances of your function, get 8 result, run your optimisation algo to change the params with 8 results, repeat.... profit ?
