# Parallel Python
|
|
|
|
A lecture from ASPP 2024. The slides and exercises are in `slides/` and `exercises/`, respectively.
|
|
|
|
A really cool example of using `asyncio` with the dakos program is in `extras/`.
|
|
|
|
## Lecture outline
|
|
|
|
* Part 1: Processes, threads and THE GIL
|
|
* Part 2: Hands-on investigations of embarrassingly parallel problems
|
|
A. Multithreading with NumPy
|
|
B. The multiprocessing package
|
|
C. Blending processes and threads
|
