There are four main concepts in this package, each one modeled as a class:

• A WorkUnit represents a sequence element.
• A Producer is responsible for generating a sequence of WorkUnits to be processed.
• A Processor is responsible for processing WorkUnits individually.
• A Consumer is responsible for handling processed WorkUnits.

These concepts/objects are the building blocks of a ParallelSequenceProcessor, which is depicted below.

The ParallelSequenceProcessor in this figure has been configured with two lanes for priority 0 (lanes 1 and 2) and a single lane for priority 1 (lane 3).

Unless specified otherwise, by setting require_in_order=False, the Consumer receives processed WorkUnits in the same order as produced by the Producer directly above it (in the same lane). This ordering is ensured by holding processed WorkUnits until all units produced before them have been processed and passed onto the Consumer.

Usage

Currently, the only documentation available is the example code provided in example.py.
