Parallel propagator of populations.
Evolution-inspired hyperparameter-optimization in MPI-parallelized fashion.
In order to be more efficient generations are less well separated than they often are in evolutionary algorithms.
Instead a new individual is generated from a pool of currently active already evaluated individuals that may be from any generation. Individuals may be removed from the breeding population based on different criteria.
For usage example see scripts.
