Question: is this a single threaded implementation or are their options for multithreading?

Interesting question. Both current algorithms (LAPJV, LAPMOD) are sequential, but it would certainly be great to add a parallel one (e.g. Balas et al, 1991).

Interesting, thanks. Do you have a link to that paper, by chance?

An interesting discussion of parallelizing the LAP is in section 3.4 of this report: https://www.opt.math.tugraz.at/~cela/papers/lap_bericht.pdf
