nonblocking


A batch of concurrent evaluations are queried for completions and a partial set is returned to the algorithm

Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): none

Description

In the nonblocking case, the set of running evaluations is queried for completion and a partial set of results is returned to an asynchronous algorithm, which can then generate new evaluations based on these partial results.

In all cases, the algorithm steps will be subject to parallel timing variabilities / race conditions such that these runs will not generally be repeatable regardless of seed specification.
