Description

At the moment parallel_integrator uses a vector of vectors as a state. However, since we have anyways established that the get_state function is used to obtain one of the parallel states, we could consider making the states a single huge vector. That may result in performance improvements.

Research direction

Start by locating the parallel_integrator implementation and its get_state function. Compare the existing vector-of-vectors state with a single-vector representation, while checking that get_state still returns the intended parallel state and whether the change improves performance.
