Chapter 12. Parallelism and Performance
In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:
- Just-in-time compiling with Numba
- Speeding up numerical expressions with Numexpr
- Running multiple threads with the
threadingmodule - Launching multiple tasks with the
concurrent.futuresmodule - Accessing resources asynchronously with the
asynciomodule - Distributed processing with
execnet - Profiling memory usage
- Calculating the mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis on the fly
- Caching with a least recently used cache
- Caching HTTP requests
- Streaming counting with the Count-min sketch
- Harnessing the power of the GPU with OpenCL
