Re: [Help-glpk] Multi-thread questions

[Meketon, Marc]

One easy form of parallelization involves using "glpsol" (the command-line 
version of GLPK) instead of calling the API.  Have the controlling program 
launch multiple "system" windows that execute glpsol.  That way each run 
maintains its own memory space.

Subject: [Help-glpk] Multi-thread questions

Dear list,
the Reference Manual of Version 4.38 states that GLPK routines are 
non-reentrant and so they cannot be used in multi-thread programs.

I was wondering, it is at least possible to solve two different problems in two 
different threads?

In my scenario, I have many linear problems and I have to find the one with the 
maximum solution. Parallelism is easy for this scenario since there is nothing 
to share, just find the best.

I read there are previous email in this list about multi-thread safety, but 
they are fairly old. So I prefer to send a new one. Thanks.

Yours faithfully,
Paolo
