Description

Hi,

thanks a lot for providing this useful tool!

I have a question regarding the num_samplers and num_evaluators variables. For both, It is written in the code that "_A value larger than 1 only has an effect when the samplers are able to execute in parallel, e.g. on different machines of a distributed system_."

Could you explain a bit more in detail what you mean?

Also, if for instance, I have a cluster with 10 servers, how can I configure the funsearch application to use all of them?
