Even starting from different states doesn't help, because afl uses semi-random search techniques. It's very likely that different start locations will still have a large overlap.

Nor is it obvious that state reporting is useful. I ran afl for about 4 days. It ran my test code about 1,000 times per second, for a total of nearly 1/2 billion test cases.

That's a lot of data exchange for each program to report and resynchronize.

I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm suggesting that it's likely not worthwhile. It would be better to support multiprocessing first, before looking towards distributed computing.
