Parallel Computing in Python (equivalent for MATLAB's parfor loop)

In this video tutorial, I will present a live demonstration of how to run computations in parallel using Python. I will use the multiprocessing package available in Python's standard library for this task. This does, more or less, the same job as the MATLAB's popular "parfor" loop does. A few different possibilities are explored including external (i.e., separate file) or internally written functions and calling the parallel computing module from another script. Add a comment with your email address if you need the source codes. Hope you find this tutorial useful :)

A good example would be comparing "non-parallel & parallel" program and showing the timing advantage
