Thanks for your feedback on this. I'll investigate on my end and see if I can verify this behaviour. I'll run a few longer sequences and see if the behaviour...

Hmm, when running with more steps per call to bboptimize I don't see this behavior. This could be some bug relating to when the number of steps is smaller than...

Ok, thanks. This confirms my suspicion. I'll put it on a todo list but I think it is not very prioritized; running very few steps should be very unlikely for...

Thanks, yes, about the PopulationSize we are using a sequence (called a chain) of Dicts where later ones take precedence over earlier ones, rather than overwriting them. So if you...

The internal interface should already support this so should be quite easy to make happen (at least for some optimizers while for others it might affect the efficiency of the...

This sounds like a more general problem and not BBO specific: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/22341 Any ideas @alyst ?

Thanks for this workaround. We want to fix this once and for all but with the upcoming Multithreading (MT) in Julia 1.3 we might want to rethink the parallel processing...

Yes, please try this again and in particular using the new multithreading support, see example in file examples/multithreaded_optimization.jl

@alyst waht is the status of this branch now? In light of Julia 1.0 soon seems to be coming can we try to unify the different parallellization branches and ideas...

Sorry to hear this. Can you show some more info about your problem setup and the call to bboptimize etc so we can help you find the problem?
