How to solve inequalities with parallel processing?

I have a set of inequalities (around 15) and solve_ineq() function is taking very long to solve it. Are there any other functions which can use multiprocessing to compute them faster?

You can try defining the polytope of the set of points satisfying all inequalities. For this, you can have a look at the Polyhedron constructor as follows:

sage: Polyhedron?

If P is the polyhedron you constructed, you can try to find an element with the .an_element() method.

You can have a look at the backend option for the Polyhedron constructor, there is cdd, normaliz, polymake, ppl, so perhaps one of them implements parallel algorithms (however, it is likely that without parallelism, those backends will be faster than the symbolic solver behind solve_ineq).

Do not hesitate to ask from more details by explaining what you tried so far.

Normaliz does support multithreading.
