Parallel multiprocess on multiple cores

[farhadbl]

Not a bug, maybe. a feature to add or (maybe already developed) to let the users to run on multiple cores or run it on servers to speed up the optimization convergence.

Thanks for that feature request. Most of the time is typically spent with the solver. There are parallel options for solvers such as IPOPT to use ma77, ma97, etc. We found that these linear solvers so speed up the solution, but not by more than a factor or 2-3 for the solver. Here are options for parallel solution with Gekko if you are solving multiple separate optimization problems.
