并行处理的一个非常简单的例子是

from multiprocessing import Process

output1 = list()
output2 = list()
output3 = list()

def yourfunction():
    for j in range(0, 10):
        # calc individual parameter value
        parameter = j * offset
        # call the calculation
        out1, out2, out3 = calc_stuff(parameter=parameter)

        # put results into correct output list
        output1.append(out1)
        output2.append(out2)
        output3.append(out3)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    p = Process(target=pa.yourfunction, args=('bob',))
    p.start()
    p.join()

并行化这段代码最简单的方法是什么?

使用concurrent.futures中的PoolExecutor。将原始代码与此代码并排比较。首先，最简洁的方法是使用executor.map:

...
with ProcessPoolExecutor() as executor:
    for out1, out2, out3 in executor.map(calc_stuff, parameters):
        ...

或者通过单独提交每个电话来分解:

...
with ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
    futures = []
    for parameter in parameters:
        futures.append(executor.submit(calc_stuff, parameter))

    for future in futures:
        out1, out2, out3 = future.result() # this will block
        ...

离开上下文表示执行程序释放资源

您可以使用线程或进程，并使用完全相同的接口。

一个工作示例

下面是工作示例代码，将演示的价值:

把它放在一个文件futuretest.py中:

from concurrent.futures import ProcessPoolExecutor, ThreadPoolExecutor
from time import time
from http.client import HTTPSConnection

def processor_intensive(arg):
    def fib(n): # recursive, processor intensive calculation (avoid n > 36)
        return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2) if n > 1 else n
    start = time()
    result = fib(arg)
    return time() - start, result

def io_bound(arg):
    start = time()
    con = HTTPSConnection(arg)
    con.request('GET', '/')
    result = con.getresponse().getcode()
    return time() - start, result

def manager(PoolExecutor, calc_stuff):
    if calc_stuff is io_bound:
        inputs = ('python.org', 'stackoverflow.com', 'stackexchange.com',
                  'noaa.gov', 'parler.com', 'aaronhall.dev')
    else:
        inputs = range(25, 32)
    timings, results = list(), list()
    start = time()
    with PoolExecutor() as executor:
        for timing, result in executor.map(calc_stuff, inputs):
            # put results into correct output list:
            timings.append(timing), results.append(result)
    finish = time()
    print(f'{calc_stuff.__name__}, {PoolExecutor.__name__}')
    print(f'wall time to execute: {finish-start}')
    print(f'total of timings for each call: {sum(timings)}')
    print(f'time saved by parallelizing: {sum(timings) - (finish-start)}')
    print(dict(zip(inputs, results)), end = '\n\n')

def main():
    for computation in (processor_intensive, io_bound):
        for pool_executor in (ProcessPoolExecutor, ThreadPoolExecutor):
            manager(pool_executor, calc_stuff=computation)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

下面是python -m futuretest一次运行的输出:

处理器密集型的分析

在Python中执行处理器密集型计算时，期望ProcessPoolExecutor比ThreadPoolExecutor性能更好。

由于全局解释器锁(又名GIL)的存在，线程不能使用多个处理器，因此每次计算的时间和壁时间(实际运行的时间)会更大。

IO-bound分析

另一方面，当执行IO绑定操作时，期望ThreadPoolExecutor比ProcessPoolExecutor性能更好。

Python的线程是真实的，OS，线程。操作系统可以让它们进入睡眠状态，并在信息到达时将它们重新唤醒。

最终的想法

我怀疑在Windows上多处理会更慢，因为Windows不支持分叉，所以每个新进程都要花时间启动。

您可以在多个进程中嵌套多个线程，但建议不要使用多个线程来派生多个进程。

如果在Python中面临一个繁重的处理问题，您可以简单地使用额外的进程来扩展—但不能使用线程。

Dask期货;我很惊讶至今还没有人提起这件事……

from dask.distributed import Client

client = Client(n_workers=8) # In this example I have 8 cores and processes (can also use threads if desired)

def my_function(i):
    output = <code to execute in the for loop here>
    return output

futures = []

for i in <whatever you want to loop across here>:
    future = client.submit(my_function, i)
    futures.append(future)

results = client.gather(futures)
client.close()

为什么不用线程和一个互斥来保护一个全局列表呢?

import os
import re
import time
import sys
import thread

from threading import Thread

class thread_it(Thread):
    def __init__ (self,param):
        Thread.__init__(self)
        self.param = param
    def run(self):
        mutex.acquire()
        output.append(calc_stuff(self.param))
        mutex.release()   


threads = []
output = []
mutex = thread.allocate_lock()

for j in range(0, 10):
    current = thread_it(j * offset)
    threads.append(current)
    current.start()

for t in threads:
    t.join()

#here you have output list filled with data

请记住，您的速度将与最慢的线程一样快

并行处理的一个非常简单的例子是

from multiprocessing import Process

output1 = list()
output2 = list()
output3 = list()

def yourfunction():
    for j in range(0, 10):
        # calc individual parameter value
        parameter = j * offset
        # call the calculation
        out1, out2, out3 = calc_stuff(parameter=parameter)

        # put results into correct output list
        output1.append(out1)
        output2.append(out2)
        output3.append(out3)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    p = Process(target=pa.yourfunction, args=('bob',))
    p.start()
    p.join()

tqdm库的并发包装器是并行化长时间运行代码的好方法。tqdm通过智能进度表提供当前进度和剩余时间的反馈，我发现这对于长时间计算非常有用。

通过对thread_map的简单调用，循环可以被重写为并发线程，或者通过对process_map的简单调用，循环可以被重写为并发多进程:

from tqdm.contrib.concurrent import thread_map, process_map


def calc_stuff(num, multiplier):
    import time

    time.sleep(1)

    return num, num * multiplier


if __name__ == "__main__":

    # let's parallelize this for loop:
    # results = [calc_stuff(i, 2) for i in range(64)]

    loop_idx = range(64)
    multiplier = [2] * len(loop_idx)

    # either with threading:
    results_threading = thread_map(calc_stuff, loop_idx, multiplier)

    # or with multi-processing:
    results_processes = process_map(calc_stuff, loop_idx, multiplier)
