Sequential sampling strategies based on Gaussian processes are now widely used for the optimization of problems involving costly simulations. But Gaussian processes can also generate parallel optimiza- tion strategies. We focus here on a new, parameter free, parallel expected improvement criterion for asynchronous optimization. An estimation of the criterion, which mixes Monte Carlo sampling and analytical bounds, is proposed. Logarithmic speed-ups are measured on 1 and 9 dimensional functions.
