Dear all,
Even though I am a complete newbie concerning OpenTURNS, I recently took a chance and wrote <http://www.simxon.com/articles/20190124-cae-statistics-and-robust-design.ht ml> this article. While researching, I noticed that the COBYLA algorithm uses parallel computing only when calculating gradients and Hessians for the destination point. If you google these two words together: "COBYLA CONDOR", you are led to believe that the CONDOR algorithm is a possible replacement for COBYLA which is able to operate in parallel before reaching the final destination - the optimum point. This leads to three questions for the user forum: 1. Have I got the facts right? 2. Assuming a "yes" to item 1, do you see a potential improvement of OpenTURNS in enabling support for CONDOR as an alternative to COBYLA? 3. Are any of you already working on it?
