Share and modify object between between futures

[paoloelle]

I would like to know if there is a way to share an object that can be modified between futures. As far as I've found in the documentation the only two methods available for shared objects are setConst() and getConst(), but setConst() allows only to define a new object that cannot be modified in future.

In my project I'm running a evolutionary algorithm using DEAP but I cannot open too many simulation in parallel due to hardware limitations. My idea is to open a pool of available simulation instances and, based on the status of the simulation (busy or not), assign the simulation instance to a specific process.
