How to run a multi-process script as following by P4D:
from multiprocessing import Pool, TimeoutError
import time
import os
def f(x):
return x*x
if __name__ == '__main__':
# start 4 worker processes
with Pool(processes=4) as pool:
# print "[0, 1, 4,..., 81]"
print(pool.map(f, range(10)))
# print same numbers in arbitrary order
for i in pool.imap_unordered(f, range(10)):
print(i)
# evaluate "f(20)" asynchronously
res = pool.apply_async(f, (20,)) # runs in *only* one process
print(res.get(timeout=1)) # prints "400"
# evaluate "os.getpid()" asynchronously
res = pool.apply_async(os.getpid, ()) # runs in *only* one process
print(res.get(timeout=1)) # prints the PID of that process
# launching multiple evaluations asynchronously *may* use more processes
multiple_results = [pool.apply_async(os.getpid, ()) for i in range(4)]
print([res.get(timeout=1) for res in multiple_results])
# make a single worker sleep for 10 secs
res = pool.apply_async(time.sleep, (10,))
try:
print(res.get(timeout=1))
except TimeoutError:
print("We lacked patience and got a multiprocessing.TimeoutError")
print("For the moment, the pool remains available for more work")
# exiting the 'with'-block has stopped the pool
print("Now the pool is closed and no longer available")
