how to parallelise monte carlo and grid searches -- March 30, 2007 - 10:39

Do you have any thoughts on the question of how to parallelise grid 
searches and monte
carlo runs and where to dig into the code base?

note I have already realise one wrinkle about paralleliseing the 
montecarlo runs. We need to have consistent (!) use of random numbers on 
the various processors. Therefore  am going to create a command in 
processor that will create and resturn a block of random numbers (I 
guess we also need to think about what distributions we need as well)
