multiprocessing pyhton3 code example

Example 1: worker pool model with 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 2: multiprocessing a for loop python

from multiprocessing import Pool

def process_image(name):
    sci=fits.open('{}.fits'.format(name))
    <process>

if __name__ == '__main__':
    pool = Pool()                         # Create a multiprocessing Pool
    pool.map(process_image, data_inputs)  # process data_inputs iterable with pool
