Description

What's the problem this feature will solve?

Currently, the model training is only executed on a single CPU core. However, in general, stable_baselines3 and gymnasium support parallelization of the learning process. Apparently, masking makes it a bit more complex (see, eg.g., https://github.com/Stable-Baselines-Team/stable-baselines3-contrib/issues/49). Nevertheless, this would could lower the training time significantly and should be explored more.

Describe the solution you'd like

Implement a parallel training procedure.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the current single-core model-training entry point, then read the referenced Stable-Baselines3 masking discussion and inspect how gymnasium environments are used. Done means a parallel training procedure that handles masking correctly and reduces training time.
