I copy pasted the example in the link you gave, only made the search take a
longer time. I used dask-ssh to setup worker nodes and a scheduler, then
connected to the scheduler in my code.
Tweaking the n_jobs parameters for the randomized search does not get any
performance benefits. The connection to the scheduler seems to work, but
nothing gets assigned to the workers, because the code doesn't scale.
I am using scikit-learn 0.18.dev0
Any ideas?
Code and results are below. Only the n_jobs value was changed between
executions. I printed an Executor assigned to my scheduler, and it reported
240 cores.
