  2. Multiprocessing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprocessing

    Multiprocessing however means true parallel execution of multiple processes using more than one processor. [7] Multiprocessing doesn't necessarily mean that a single process or task uses more than one processor simultaneously; the term parallel processing is generally used to denote that scenario. [6]

  3. List of concurrent and parallel programming languages

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_concurrent_and...

    A concurrent programming language is defined as one which uses the concept of simultaneously executing processes or threads of execution as a means of structuring a program. A parallel language is able to express programs that are executable on more than one processor.

  4. Process (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_(computing)

    However, in multiprocessing systems many processes may run off of, or share, the same reentrant program at the same location in memory, but each process is said to own its own image of the program. Processes are often called "tasks" in embedded operating systems. The sense of "process" (or task) is "something that takes up time", as opposed to ...

  5. Concurrent computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing

    In this way, multiple processes are part-way through execution at a single instant, but only one process is being executed at that instant. [citation needed] Concurrent computations may be executed in parallel, [3] [6] for example, by assigning each process to a separate processor or processor core, or distributing a computation across a network.

  6. Multithreading (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multithreading_(computer...

    A process with two threads of execution, running on a single processor . In computer architecture, multithreading is the ability of a central processing unit (CPU) (or a single core in a multi-core processor) to provide multiple threads of execution.

  7. CPython - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPython

    The non-Python library being called to perform the CPU-intensive task is not subject to the GIL and may concurrently execute many threads on multiple processors without restriction. Concurrency of Python code can only be achieved with separate CPython interpreter processes managed by a multitasking operating system .

  8. Dask (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dask_(software)

    Due to Python’s Global Interpreter Lock, local threads provide parallelism only when the computation is primarily non-Python code, which is the case for Pandas DataFrame, Numpy arrays or other Python/C/C++ based projects. Local process A multiprocessing scheduler leverages Python’s concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor to execute computations.

  9. Task parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_parallelism

    In a multiprocessor system, task parallelism is achieved when each processor executes a different thread (or process) on the same or different data. The threads may execute the same or different code. In the general case, different execution threads communicate with one another as they work, but this is not a requirement.
