Multi-threading

Warning

This feature is currently being reworked. Its parameters and functionality are subject to change.

By default, solvers will try to use multiple threads to speed up the simulation (using OpenMP). You can override this behavior by setting a maximum number of threads in the input_params:

{
  "target": "paralleltempering.qiotoolkit",
  "input_params": {
    "threads": 1,
    ...
  }
}

In any case, you can see the number of threads used denoted in the benchmark section of the output:

{
  "benchmark": {
    ...
    "threads": 1,
    ...
  },
  "solutions": [...]
}

If the "threads" is larger than the number of CPU cores on the machine or the value is not positive, the parameter "threads" will be ignored.
