Re: setup of parallel processing and supporting software - help wanted
WRT bootstrap, it makes much more sense to simply bootstrap the many nonmem
runs (start 8 NONMEM runs at at time, rather than 1 run parallelized to 8
cores).
So, no, don't use parallel NONMEM for bootstrap, run multiple bootstrap samples
at the same time.

Subject: [NMusers] setup of parallel processing and supporting software - help
wanted
Hello The Team,
We hear different opinions about effectiveness of parallel processing with
NONMEM from very helpful to less helpful. It can be task dependent. How
useful is it in phase 3 for basic and covariate models, as well as for
bootstrapping?
We reached a non-exploratory (production) point when popPK is on a critical
path and sophisticated but slow home-made utilities may be insufficient. Are
there efficient/quick companies/institutions, which setup parallel processing,
supporting software and, possibly, some other utilities (cloud computing, ...)?
A group which used to helped us a while ago disappeared somewhere...
Thanks,
Pavel
