The core library is not parallel (imho it's the next big issue we need to face). Swarming (the optimization process for finding best parameters for models) would benefit (but thousands of cores is maybe an outstretch) More complex models, consisting of several "simple CLAs" running in hierarchy would, this could be interesting! > and big size memories, and big data?

See external/ folder there for libs that you'll need to satisfy. Cheers, -- Marek Otahal :o)
