multiprocessing for python 3 code example

Example 1: python multiprocessing

import multiprocessing

def worker1(i):
    print(i, "Process started")

def worker2(i):
    print(i, "Process started")
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    p = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker1, args("nice",))
    q = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker2, args("nice2",))
    q.start()
    p.start()

Example 2: multiprocessing python

"""A very simple parallel code example to execute parallel functions in python"""
import multiprocessing
import numpy as np
def multiprocessing_func(x):
	"""Individually prints the squares y_i of the elements x_i of a vector x"""
	for x_i in x:
		y=x_i**2 
		print('The square of ',x_i,' is ',y)
def chunks(input, n):
    """Yields successive n-sized chunks of input"""
    for i in range(0, len(input), n):
        yield input[i:i + n]
if __name__=='__main__':
	n_proc=4 #Numer of available processors
	x=np.arange(100) #Input
	chunked_x=list(chunks(x, int(x.shape[0]/n_proc)+1)) #Splits input among n_proc chunks
	processes=[] #Initialize the parallel processes list
	for i in np.arange(0,n_proc):
		"""Execute the target function on the n_proc target processors using the splitted input""" 
		p = multiprocessing.Process(target=multiprocessing_func,args=(chunked_x[i],))
		processes.append(p)
		p.start()
	for process in processes:
		process.join()

Example 3: python multiprocessing

from multiprocessing import Pool

def f(x):
    return x*x

if __name__ == '__main__':
    with Pool(5) as p:
        print(p.map(f, [1, 2, 3]))

Example 4: python - multiprocessing

import time
from multiprocessing import Process

# My functions (threads)
def my_func_1():...
def my_func_2():...

# Single calculation  
start = time.time()
my_func_1()
my_func_2()
print(f'Single thread total time: {time.time() - start}')

# Processes
process = Process(target=my_func_1)
process2 = Process(target=my_func_2)
process.start()
process2.start()

start = time.time() # Start the two processes

process.join()      # Wait till processes finish
process2.join()

print(f'Two thread total time: {time.time() - start}')
