Multi-core processing

I would like to enjoy all the 8 cores my CPU has to speed up finding a solution. I don't know if it is already possible, but I didn't find anything in the docs, so it seems to a missing feature. In particular, given one input image, a certain number of parallel threads should look for a solution using different index files (e.g. thread 1 analyses the image using index files 1-5, thread 2 using 6-10, and so on), and when one of them finds it, stops all the others. Is it possible? Are there alternative ways to do this if it can't be implemented?

It's not currently implemented.
