Answer from AI
In Python, multiprocessing is implemented using the multiprocessing module, which allows creating and managing separate processes, bypassing the GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) limitations.
Main features:
- Creating processes via
Process. - Sharing data between processes using queues (
Queue), pipes (Pipe), or shared memory. - Using process pools (
Pool) for parallel execution of tasks.
Example of creating and starting a process:
from multiprocessing import Process
def worker(name):
print(f'Process {name} started')
if __name__ == '__main__':
p = Process(target=worker, args=('A',))
p.start()
p.join()
This way, multiple processes can be run in parallel and managed.
