WorkerPool

class mpire.WorkerPool(n_jobs=None, daemon=True, cpu_ids=None, shared_objects=None, pass_worker_id=False, use_worker_state=False, start_method='fork', keep_alive=False, use_dill=False, enable_insights=False, order_tasks=False)[source]

A multiprocessing worker pool which acts like a multiprocessing.Pool, but is faster and has more options.

__enter__()[source]

Enable the use of the with statement.

Return type

WorkerPool

__exit__(*_)[source]

Enable the use of the with statement. Gracefully terminates workers, if there are any

Return type

None

__init__(n_jobs=None, daemon=True, cpu_ids=None, shared_objects=None, pass_worker_id=False, use_worker_state=False, start_method='fork', keep_alive=False, use_dill=False, enable_insights=False, order_tasks=False)[source]
Parameters

  • n_jobs (Optional[int]) – Number of workers to spawn. If None, will use mpire.cpu_count()

  • daemon (bool) – Whether to start the child processes as daemon

  • cpu_ids (Optional[List[Union[int, List[int]]]]) – List of CPU IDs to use for pinning child processes to specific CPUs. The list must be as long as the number of jobs used (if n_jobs equals None it must be equal to mpire.cpu_count()), or the list must have exactly one element. In the former case, element i specifies the CPU ID(s) to use for child process i. In the latter case the single element specifies the CPU ID(s) for all child processes to use. A single element can be either a single integer specifying a single CPU ID, or a list of integers specifying that a single child process can make use of multiple CPU IDs. If None, CPU pinning will be disabled

  • shared_objects (Optional[Any]) – Objects to be passed on as shared objects to the workers once. It will be passed on to the target, worker_init, and worker_exit functions. shared_objects is only passed on when it’s not None. Shared objects will be copy-on-write when using fork as start method. When enabled, functions receive the shared objects as second argument, depending on other settings. The order is: worker_id, shared_objects, worker_state, and finally the arguments passed on from iterable_of_args

  • pass_worker_id (bool) – Whether to pass on a worker ID to the target, worker_init, and worker_exit functions. When enabled, functions receive the worker ID as first argument, depending on other settings. The order is: worker_id, shared_objects, worker_state, and finally the arguments passed on from iterable_of_args

  • use_worker_state (bool) – Whether to let a worker have a worker state. The worker state will be passed on to the target, worker_init, and worker_exit functions. When enabled, functions receive the worker state as third argument, depending on other settings. The order is: worker_id, shared_objects, worker_state, and finally the arguments passed on from iterable_of_args

  • start_method (str) – Which process start method to use. Options for multiprocessing: 'fork' (default, if available), 'forkserver' and 'spawn' (default, if 'fork' isn’t available). For multithreading use 'threading'. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#contexts-and-start-methods for more information and https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#the-spawn-and-forkserver-start-methods for some caveats when using the 'spawn' or 'forkserver' methods

  • keep_alive (bool) – When True it will keep workers alive after completing a map call, allowing to reuse workers

  • use_dill (bool) – Whether to use dill as serialization backend. Some exotic types (e.g., lambdas, nested functions) don’t work well when using spawn as start method. In such cased, use dill (can be a bit slower sometimes)

  • enable_insights (bool) – Whether to enable worker insights. Might come at a small performance penalty (often neglible)

  • order_tasks (bool) – Whether to provide tasks to the workers in order, such that worker 0 will get chunk 0, worker 1 will get chunk 1, etc.
