 The line `dispatcher.start()` starts the concurrent non blocking execution of our experiment. This means the dispatcher stays responsive and we can pause/stop the execution at any given time.

 >>> dispatcher.stop()
 ```
 
 During the execution the `dispatcher` continuously keeps track of which files he still needs to call `run(...)` on and how many iterations he has left. He does so by saving the current state of the execution in a file. Loading an experiment (`alma.experiment.load(...)`) the framework first looks for such a save file and if one exists, the execution will pick up at the point we've called `dispatcher.stop()`. To pick up the experiment we can perform:

 The run module is arguably the most important part of the *alma* interface. It is here where the actual experiment/task has to be implemented. For *pyalma* the run module is merely a python file implementing a specified interface so that *pyalma* can load and execute it. Let's have a look at a short but yet extensive example.
