Does the mma algorithm in pygmo2 support mpi process? #75

The mma algorithm in Nlopt does not support mpi process,right? So does pygmo2 support it for the MMA algorithm?

@qwefhajk no NLopt does not have any support from MPI as far as i know. In pygmo, you can use the mma algorithm in conjunction with an archipelago of ipyparallel_islands to achieve coarse-grained parallelisation (basically, running multiple optimisations at the same time).
