Speeding/parallelising CF creation and initialization #644

Open mjabri opened 8 years ago

mjabri commented 8 years ago

Is the an existing scheme create/initialize entire projections? Say I have 10 projections, is there a way to create them in parallel if the don't depend on each other?

That's always been on the road map but we never did get around to it. The main issue was reproduceability because the weights should be the same no matter the instantiation order. That issue is now solved so in theory it should now be straightforward to implement but no one has tried to do so yet.

I see. That would be by parallelising _create_cfs()?
