| PackageDescription | better multiprocessing and multithreading in Python
Multiprocess is a fork of multiprocessing, and is developed as part of
pathos. It uses dill to serialize objects.
.
Multiprocessing is a package for the Python language which supports the
spawning of processes using the API of the standard library's threading
module. multiprocessing has been distributed in the Python standard library.
.
Features:
* Objects can be transferred between processes using pipes or
multi-producer/multi-consumer queues.
* Objects can be shared between processes using a server process or
(for simple data) shared memory.
* Equivalents of all the synchronization primitives in threading are
available.
* A Pool class makes it easy to submit tasks to a pool of worker
processes.
.
Multiprocess is part of pathos, a Python framework for heterogeneous
computing. multiprocess is in active development, so any user feedback,
bug reports, comments, or suggestions are highly appreciated. |
