Process-Based Parallelism using Joblib

A.1Introduction to Process-Based Parallelism

The execution of a Python code launches a Python process that accepts the instruction and executes it. If we need to process multiple images (for example) using the same instruction, then the Python process runs the instruction on each of the images sequentially. If we have 8 images and if each image takes a minute to process, the total processing time would be 8 minutes. However, a typical modern computer has multiple cores each of which can handle one Python process. So it would be preferable to process each of these images in parallel and use all the cores in a modern computer. This can be achieved using Python’s joblib module. If a computer ...
