``adaptive`` is an open-source Python library designed to
make adaptive parallel function evaluation simple. With ``adaptive`` you
just supply a function with its bounds, and it will be evaluated at the
“best” points in parameter space. With just a few lines of code you can
evaluate functions on a computing cluster, live-plot the data as it
returns, and fine-tune the adaptive sampling algorithm.
“best” points in parameter space, rather than unecessarily computing *all* points on a dense grid.
With just a few lines of code you can evaluate functions on a computing cluster,
live-plot the data as it returns, and fine-tune the adaptive sampling algorithm.

``adaptive`` shines on computations where each evaluation of the function
takes *at least* ≈100ms due to the overhead of picking potentially interesting points.
