Multi-processing

[jmrichardson]

Hi, your package is great! One thing is I can't get multiprocessing to work. I have n_jobs > 1 but it doesn't appear to start more jobs. I have 50+ cores and just uses one. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks:

cpus = 30
st = GeneticExtractor(verbose=True, population_size=30, iterations=10, plot=None, n_jobs=cpus)

Hi @jmrichardson

Thank you for showing interest! That's strange indeed. What OS are you working on?

Note that for now, only the bottle-neck, which is evaluation of all individuals in population (fitness), is parallelized.

Hi @GillesVandewiele , Sorry, yes I didn't give it enough time. I am running on redhat 7 and it is working now. Thanks for the help
