Parallelizing computation

[BrainAnnex]

Excited about a new (2022) ebook that I just got my hands on, Matthew Fowler, "Python Concurrency with asyncio"... it seems like a good, all-in-one place, compendium on multithreading and multiprocessing in Python. (on Amazon)

Especially relevant to Life123 : chapter 6, "Handling CPU-bound work", and the last section in chapter 7, on using multiple threads in conjunction with NumPy.

I've been running some tests on multiprocessing... with an eye to a multiprocessing version of the diffusion computations... but nothing yet added to this repo

Another 2022 book that I just got my hands on, and which I'd recommend, is "Principles of Parallel Scientific Computing", Tobias Weinzierl, Springer (on Amazon)

Also looking into using Dask for parallel processing.
Dask is an open source library for parallel computing written in Python. Very compatible with Pandas.
Interesting article

I should add that some of the existing open-source libraries that handle finite-element methods to solve the diffusion equation, offer their own parallel or GPU computing; those are being discussed in this other thread
