Member Function Documentation

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

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 slave its arguments are the return value from this context's startup function.

def IMP.parallel.Context.get_results_unordered

(

self

)

If there are more tasks than slaves, subsequent tasks are started only once a running task completes: each slave 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

NoMoreSlavesError	there are no slaves available to run the tasks (or they all failed during execution).
RemoteError	a slave encountered an unhandled exception.
NetworkError	the master lost (or was unable to establish) communication with any slave.
