        POAP: Plumbing for Optimization with Asynchronous Parallelism
        =============================================================
        
        POAP provides an event-driven framework for building and
        combining asynchronous optimization strategies.  A typical
        optimization code written with POAP might look like:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from poap.strategy import FixedSampleStrategy
            from poap.strategy import CheckWorkStrategy
            from poap.controller import ThreadController
            from poap.controller import BasicWorkerThread
        
            # samples = list of sample points ...
        
            controller = ThreadController()
            sampler = FixedSampleStrategy(samples)
            controller.strategy = CheckWorkerStrategy(controller, sampler)
        
            for i in range(NUM_WORKERS):
                t = BasicWorkerThread(controller, objective)
                controller.launch_worker(t)
        
            result = controller.run()
            print 'Best result: {0} at {1}'.format(result.value, result.params)
        
        The basic ingredients are a controller capable of asking workers to
        run function evaluations and a strategy for choosing where to sample.
        The strategies send the controller proposed actions, which the
        controller then accepts or rejects; the controller, in turn, informs
        the strategies of relevant events through callback functions.
        
        Most users will probably want to provide their own strategies,
        controllers, or both.
