Chapter 6. Utilizing Parallel Python
In the previous chapter, we learned how to use the multiprocessing
and ProcessPoolExecutor
modules to solve two case problems. This chapter will present named pipes and how to use Parallel Python (PP) to perform parallel tasks with processes.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Understanding interprocess communication
- Discovering PP
- Using PP to calculate the Fibonacci series on SMP architecture
- Using PP to make a distributed Web crawler
