我想出了如何通过多处理、应用异步和回调来并行化一个数组的总和,所以我在这里为其他人发布这个。我使用the example page for Parallel Python作为Sum回调类,尽管实际上我并没有使用该包来实现。不过,这给了我使用回调的想法。这是我最终使用的简化代码,它做了我想做的事情。import multiprocessing
import numpy as np
import thread
class Sum: #again, this class is from ParallelPython's example code (I modified for an array and added comments)
def __init__(self):
self.value = np.zeros((1,512*512)) #this is the initialization of the sum
self.lock = thread.allocate_lock()
self.count = 0
def add(self,value):
self.count += 1
self.lock.acquire() #lock so sum is correct if two processes return at same time
self.value += value #the actual summation
self.lock.release()
def computation(index):
array1 = np.ones((1,512*512))*index #this is where the array-returning computation goes
return array1
def summers(num_iters):
pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=8)
sumArr = Sum() #create an instance of callback class and zero the sum
for index in range(num_iters):
singlepoolresult = pool.apply_async(computation,(index,),callback=sumArr.add)
pool.close()
pool.join() #waits for all the processes to finish
return sumArr.value
我还可以使用一个并行化的映射来完成这项工作,这是在另一个答案中提出的。我之前试过,但没有正确地实现。这两种方法都有效,我认为this answer很好地解释了使用哪种方法(map或apply.async)的问题。对于映射版本,不需要定义类和,summers函数变成def summers(num_iters):
pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=8)
outputArr = np.zeros((num_iters,1,512*512)) #you wouldn't have to initialize these
sumArr = np.zeros((1,512*512)) #but I do to make sure I have the memory
outputArr = np.array(pool.map(computation, range(num_iters)))
sumArr = outputArr.sum(0)
pool.close() #not sure if this is still needed since map waits for all iterations
return sumArr
