    Most of the linear solvers aren't thread safe or rentrant.&nbsp; You can
    only run one copy of the linear solver per memory space (i.e. per
    process).&nbsp; Intel Pardiso, MUMPS, MA27 all have this problem, they
    use SAVE statements internally and multiple calls in one process
    overwrites those memory areas and they crash or give weird results.&nbsp;
    It's not specifically an IPOPT problem.<br class="">

              <div class="">Hi,<br class="">
                &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I am trying create a distributed system of agents
