Flexibilité et Portabilité pour Embarrassingly Parallel Search

Constraint programming is a paradigm for solving combinatorial problems. Yet solving complex problems may be a lengthy process. Embarrassingly Parallel Search (EPS) is "a simple and efficient method for solving constraint programming problems in parallel". While EPS is a very generic method, its implementations are strongly dependent on the machine architecture for which they were written. We suggest a new communication architecture for EPS's inner workings such that it becomes usable on different machine architectures. Then we exhibit a prototype that combines partitioning and portfolio methods implementing that architecture.
