Member Function Documentation

def IMP.parallel.Context.add_task (   self,
  task 
)

Add a task to this context.

Tasks are any Python callable object that can be pickled (e.g. a function or a class that implements the __call__ method). When the task is run on the worker its arguments are the return value from this context's startup function.

Definition at line 369 of file parallel/__init__.py.

def IMP.parallel.Context.get_results_unordered (   self)

Run all of the tasks on available workers, and return results.

If there are more tasks than workers, subsequent tasks are started only once a running task completes: each worker only runs a single task at a time. As each task completes, the return value(s) from the task callable are returned from this method, as a Python generator. Note that the results are returned in the order that tasks complete, which may not be the same as the order they were submitted in.

Exceptions
NoMoreWorkersErrorthere are no workers available to run the tasks (or they all failed during execution).
RemoteErrora worker encountered an unhandled exception.
NetworkErrorthe manager lost (or was unable to establish) communication with any worker.
