Overview of this book

This book will teach you parallel programming techniques using examples in Python and will help you explore the many ways in which you can write code that allows more than one process to happen at once. Starting with introducing you to the world of parallel computing, it moves on to cover the fundamentals in Python. This is followed by exploring the thread-based parallelism model using the Python threading module by synchronizing threads and using locks, mutex, semaphores queues, GIL, and the thread pool. Next you will be taught about process-based parallelism where you will synchronize processes using message passing along with learning about the performance of MPI Python Modules. You will then go on to learn the asynchronous parallel programming model using the Python asyncio module along with handling exceptions. Moving on, you will discover distributed computing with Python, and learn how to install a broker, use Celery Python Module, and create a worker. You will understand anche Pycsp, the Scoop framework, and disk modules in Python. Further on, you will learnGPU programming withPython using the PyCUDA module along with evaluating performance limitations.

Introduction


The basic idea of distributed computing is to break each workload into an arbitrary number of tasks, usually indicated with the name, into reasonable pieces for which a computer in a distributed network will be able to finish and return the results flawlessly. In distributed computing, there is the absolute certainty that the machines on your network are always available (latency difference, unpredictable crash or network computers, and so on). So, you need a continuous monitoring architecture.

The fundamental problem that arises from the use of this kind of technology is mainly focused on the proper management of traffic (that is devoid of errors both in transmission and reception) of any kind (data, jobs, commands, and so on). Further, a problem stems from a fundamental characteristic of distributed computing: the coexistence in the network of machines that support different operating systems which are often incompatible with others. In fact, the need to actually use the multiplicity...
