The Rapid Gaussian Markov Improvement Algorithm (rGMIA) solves discrete optimization via simulation problems by using a Gaussian
Markov random field and complete expected improvement as the sampling and stopping criterion. rGMIA has been created as a sequential
sampling procedure run on a single processor. In this paper, we extend rGMIA to a parallel computing environment when q+1 solutions can be
simulated in parallel. To this end, we introduce the q-point complete expected improvement criterion to determine a batch of q+1 solutions
to simulate. This new criterion is implemented in a new object-oriented rGMIA package.
