Description

Hi,

I have a code that samples a likelihood function using emcee in a multithreaded framework. the likelihood is computed by tinygp.

Now I have vectorized part of the likelihod function for running on GPUs and wonder about the smartest way to use tinygp in a vectorized flavor. I've been looking for tutorials (not an expert here, unfortunately) but I could only find one of yours using numpyro. Is there any specific reason not to use emcee? More importantly, is there a way to use tinygp in a vectorized way?

Thanks
