Communicating Sequential Processes: Multicore Programs in Standard CPython

Simon Law

Audience level:
Intermediate

Description

We live in a multicore world now: your cellphone has more CPUs now than your desktop did a decade ago.

Traditionally, Python programs have been sequential. With Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP), you can transform your CPython programs into concurrent programs.

Abstract

We will cover:

  • Design of CSP-style programs
  • How to convert existing programs
  • Using the threading library for concurrent I/O
  • Using the multiprocessing library for concurrent processing
  • How to manage shared state
