Any chance you could link the specific paper you’re talking about? This seems like a area I’d love to explore and the older you mentioned seems like a good starting point - I looked up the author on arxiv and there seems to be a few papers you could be referring to

This is the spearmint paper, describes how bayesian search algorithms can be parallelized in practice. There was also a very gentle introduction to bayesian optimization, I think it's one of the referenced papers. Cannot seem to find it right now.
