Multiprocessing in Python: Introduction (Part 2)

In this video, we will be continuing our introduction of the multiprocessing module in Python. According to the official documentation (https://docs.python.org/2/library/mul... "multiprocessing is a package that supports spawning processes using an API similar to the threading module. The multiprocessing package offers both local and remote concurrency, effectively side-stepping the Global Interpreter Lock by using subprocesses instead of threads. Due to this, the multiprocessing module allows the programmer to fully leverage multiple processors on a given machine. It runs on both Unix and Windows." Specifically, in this video, we will be continuing the usage of our "square" function. We will see that when we launch separate processes using this module, that we can visualize these processes in the operating system. Software from this video: https://github.com/vprusso/youtube_tu...

It's a customized version of vim that's enhanced for Python development. If you want to see how I set up my vim, I have a series on this here: http://bit.ly/lp_vim If you've found this video helpful and want to stay up-to-date with the latest videos posted on this channel, please subscribe: http://bit.ly/lp_subscribe
