Overview
In this 6 hr course, learners will deeply understand concurrency and parallelism in Python to solve computational bottlenecks effectively. Through hands-on projects and examples, participants explore threading, multiprocessing, and asynchronous programming to enhance program performance and maximize CPU resource utilization.
What I will be able to do after this course
- Understand the difference between concurrency and parallelism and where each is appropriate to use.
- Implement threading in Python for simultaneous task execution and efficiency in IO-bound operations.
- Utilize multiprocessing to distribute workload across multiple CPUs for computationally intensive tasks.
- Combine asynchronous programming with multiprocessing to fully leverage modern multi-core systems.
- Develop practical skills in creating efficient, scalable, and fast Python applications utilizing advanced programming paradigms.
