Required/Optional | Description of Group | Dakota Keyword | Dakota Keyword Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Required (Choose One) | Synchronization (Group 1) | blocking | Complete concurrent evaluation of all evaluations within a batch | |
nonblocking | A batch of concurrent evaluations are queried for completions and a partial set is returned to the algorithm |
The synchronization
specification can be used to specify the use of either blocking
or nonblocking
schedulers, where the former must block until all evaluations are completed and the latter does not block, returning only the partial set that has been completed for a particular call to the scheduler.
