breaking stereotypes about parallelism

parallel_python

breaking stereotypes about parallelism in python with examples

🎯 Main goal

The main point I wanted to convey with this repository is to show with simple toy examples that "there is no multithreading in python" and "GIL breaks absolutely everything in python" are stereoptypes.

⚔️ Way

I'm trying to answer the following questions (yes, these questions are not about the same thing ...):

• is parallelism possible in python?
• is true parallelism possible in python?
• is true parallelism possible in python for cpu bound tasks?

and this repo contains all the code needed to answer them.

⛏️ Hot to use it?

To understand what will be discussed You can either watch the presentation pdf or read my post. You can also get by with just the code. I tried to make it self-describing and self-contained.
