multiprocessing pool example in python

title: python multiprocessing pool tutorial
introduction:
multiprocessing in python allows you to run multiple processes simultaneously, utilizing multiple cpu cores, and thereby speeding up the execution of certain tasks. the multiprocessing module provides a convenient way to achieve parallelism in python. one of the essential components of the multiprocessing module is the pool class, which allows you to distribute the execution of a function across multiple processes.
in this tutorial, we will explore how to use the pool class from the multiprocessing module with a simple example.
example:
let's create a python script that demonstrates how to use the pool class to parallelize a function that performs a time-consuming task - calculating the square of numbers.
explanation:
we import the multiprocessing module, which provides support for creating and managing processes in python.
we define a function calculate_square(number) that takes a number as input and returns its square.
in the if __name__ == "__main__": block, we define the main part of our script. this block ensures that the code inside it is only executed when the script is run directly, not when it's imported as a module.
we create a list of numbers that we want to calculate the squares for.
using the map() method of the pool object, we distribute the calculate_square function across the list of numbers. the map() method applies the specified function (calculate_square) to each item in the iterable (numbers) and returns a list of results.
the results are collected into the results variable.
finally, we print the results.
