My project was to do some parallel algos in C using OpenMP. Now I would like to do the same project in Python. Is there anything available similar to openmp for python?

It won't be parallel in CPython, unless the code you're invoking has big chunks of C code in it. Python is not a very good platform for doing anything parallel.Dietrich Epp– Dietrich Epp2012-10-25 16:18:24 +00:00Commented Oct 25, 2012 at 16:18

My opinion is to look at IPython (ipython.org) and examples of how they use zeromq to do parallel processing (ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/parallel/parallel_intro.html). You could stick with iPython or try zeromq (or another messaging system) + multiple python interpreters yourself.jeff.vanvoorst– jeff.vanvoorst2012-10-25 20:18:01 +00:00Commented Oct 25, 2012 at 20:18

I'd suggest using Ray github.com/ray-project/ray, which is a library for parallel and distributed Python. It let's you run the same code on a single machine and a large cluster and also provides a clean way to parallelize both functions and classes (using "tasks" and "actors").Robert Nishihara– Robert Nishihara2019-02-06 22:00:18 +00:00Commented Feb 6, 2019 at 22:00
