One simple thing I do to keep track of the progress is to include a
statement (in the function that is being executed in parallel) which
creates a text file [the name of which indicates which iteration it came
from] and stores it to a folder. I just refresh the folder and figure out
the progress. not pretty but get's the job done for me.

I've posted this to Stackoverflow some time ago (
