Running multiple Nengo models using python multiprocessing

I am running multiple nengo models using python multiprocessing library and I got following user warning

nengo/cache.py:447: UserWarning: Decoder cache index could not acquire lock. Cache index was not synced.

Could will it cause any complications sooner or later?

No, that should be fine (it just means that you won’t benefit from the caching). But you could add nengo.rc.set("decoder_cache", "enabled", False) if you want to explicitly disable the cache and avoid those warnings.

Found this thread while googling for documentation. You’ll want to use:

nengo.rc.set("decoder_cache", "enabled", "False")

("False" instead of False) otherwise you’ll get:
