In Python, the following modules and libraries are often used for parallel computing and task distribution in multi-processor systems:
multiprocessing— a standard module for creating processes, allowing functions to run in parallel in different processes.concurrent.futures— provides a convenient interface for parallel task execution withThreadPoolExecutorandProcessPoolExecutor.joblib— a library for simple parallel execution of loops and functions, often used in scientific computing.dask— for distributed computing and working with large data.
Example using multiprocessing:
from multiprocessing import Pool
def f(x):
return x * x
if __name__ == '__main__':
with Pool(4) as p:
results = p.map(f, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
print(results) # [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
