Any idea why spearmint is crashing after 128 complete jobs on any function?

Hi @szubair-nara, that's really strange! I don't think this has been an issue before and I'm pretty sure it would've come up. Can you possibly try on another machine and see if it's still happening?
So I have tried it on another machine - though it was not very useful as I am using mac osx on both machines... I have a hunch it has to do with numpy/scipy linking to the accelerate framework (mac osx specific blas) along with some bug about multiprocessing.
Hmm that's strange! Can you try running spearmint without multiprocessing -method-args=use_multiprocessing=0
that fixed it - also using numpy compiled with openblas in a virtual machine fixed it for me as well. Thanks so much for the help!!
