I was hoping someone could clarify a few things for me when it comes to the use of multiple CPU cores in models. reading the docs it states chainsint The number of chains to sample. Running independent chains is important for some convergence statistics and can also reveal multiple modes in the p…

Maybe it helps to explain a bit how the parallelization works: When you specify cores>1 in pm.sample, pymc will start one new process for each chain. The main process then tells cores of those processes to start sampling, the others will just wait and do nothing. When one of the processes is finish…

maybe @aseyboldt knows a bit more on this.
