One (somewhat seasonal) comment on this: it doesn't always have to be about killing (processes or threads). You might also consider a cooperative implementation, where each of the algorithms is allowed to advance by one "step" in each "round", and is simply discarded when a solution is found elsewhere, or when it becomes unlikely that this specific algorithm will contribute a future solution. This could be implemented via a sequence of generators or coroutines in Python. Such an approach is often used in simulations (e.g. SimPy and other "discrete event" simulators), where exact control over the concurrency pattern is desirable.
