Will Mogo with "nbThreads=4 and --nbTotalSimulations 110000" yield the
same results as "nbThreads=1 and --nbTotalSimulations 110000",
presumably in approximately 1/4 the time?
--nbTotalSimulations gives the number of simulations for the first thread;
the others are stopped by time. As threads are not necessarily scheduled
in a fair manner, the number of simulations, if you do
not have 4 cores fully available, might be very unstable.
By the way, the efficiency in mogoRelease
is not linear in the number of threads,
whenever the cores are completly available; this linear speed-up
is almost true for 2 cores, but not completly for 4 cores, and absolutely
not for 8 cores.
