MIDACO Parallelization in Julia (Multi-Threading)
Running MIDACO in serial and parallel on a cpu-time expensive objective function.

| Serial Mode (P=1) | Parallel Mode (P=2) | Parallel Mode (P=4) |

| Total Time: 29 Seconds | Total Time: 14 Seconds | Total Time: 8 Seconds |
| Original: x1 | Speed Up: ~x2 | Speed Up: ~x4 |
The results can be reproduced with the limited MIDACO version (available here).
To enable multi-threading in Julia, the following command:
export JULIA_NUM_THREADS=2 ( Mac & Linux shell )
set JULIA_NUM_THREADS=2 ( Windows shell )
must be executed before starting Julia. The parallelization
example will auto-detect the number of threads ( Line 115 ):
option["parallel"] = Threads.nthreads()
