Running several scenes in parallel

Post by mthor13 »

Hi everyone,

It seems like I cannot run several scenes in parallel, does anyone know if this is even possible?
I am planning on using V-REP for reinforcement learning and would therefore like several instances of my robot being simulated simultaneously to speed up the learning. I am open to any alternatives that you might have.

Best Regards,
Mathias Thor

Hello Mathias,

normally you should be able to start V-REP several times, and run several instances in parallel.
Regarding Reinforcement Learning: there will very soon be a new way to start V-REP from Python, that will greatly simplify (and speed-up) applications such as RL: basically, your Python code will launch the simulation thread and be in control of it, and simulation stepping...

Cheers

That sounds really really nice!

By "very soon" do you then mean weeks or months. Just because if it is weeks, then it does not make sense for me to implement my own alternative :-)

With very soon I mean an estimated 2-3 weeks...
