I think there is a version of MERT that is multi-threaded? I am not sure that it supports batch MIRA (see recent message from Colin Cherry) - this is good and fast (and free :-) ) and perhaps doesn't need to be parallelized?
BTW, has anyone figured out how to pass the threads parameter through to the decoder in tuning when using experiment.perl? I hardcoded it to use $__THREADS in mert-moses.pl in the decoder command line, line 1069.
