Overview
When using the current implementation of 'encode_multi_process' we are forced to use only the default precision, forcing us to leverage multi-process GPU capabilities.
Details
This PR should fix this and allow setting the precision with multi-process capabilities by supporting the
precision
property when calling theencode_multi_process
function.
