MPI support?

[BArt22023]

Hi, thank you for your work on this project.

I was wondering if scikit-sundae currently supports MPI, or if there are any plans to add MPI support in a future release?

Thanks

The package does not include built-in MPI support, and there are no plans to add it directly into the core solvers. Our focus is on providing access to robust and efficient solver implementations without getting into specific parallelization setups. Our next few major/minor releases will focus on adding sparse and iterative solvers, support for JIT-compiled user-defined functions, and improving backend memory usage.

That said, users are free to design their own MPI-based workflows around scikit-sundae using libraries like mpi4py. I’m aware of at least one project that successfully implemented this approach by running parameter sweeps in parallel, although the code is currently closed-source and not available as a reference.

If you have any other questions about the package, feel free to ask.
