``adaptive`` is an open-source Python library designed to
1212
make adaptive parallel function evaluation simple. With ``adaptive`` you
1313
just supply a function with its bounds, and it will be evaluated at the
14-
“best” points in parameter space. With just a few lines of code you can
15-
evaluate functions on a computing cluster, live-plot the data as it
16-
returns, and fine-tune the adaptive sampling algorithm.

``adaptive`` shines on computations where each evaluation of the function
19+
takes *at least* ≈100ms. Other approaches for parallisation should be chosen for
20+
function calls that are faster than this.
