title: Parallel ODE integration using SciPy
body: <p>I'm using SciPys <code>integrate.ode</code> module to integrate a large system (~8000 equations) of ODEs. Because I always have to do several of those with different parameters I parallelized it using the <code>multiprocessing</code> module, which seems to be working fine. However, the documentation of <a href="https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-0.15.1/reference/generated/scipy.integrate.ode.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SciPy</a> says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Warning:</p>
    
    <p>This integrator is not re-entrant. You cannot have two ode instances using the “vode” integrator at the same time.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So now my question is if I can trust my results from the parallel runs? Or does this Waring also apply to instances in different processes?</p>
