Python multicore programming [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can use process pools in multiprocessing module.

def work(foo):
    foo.do_task()

from multiprocessing import Pool

pool = Pool()
pool.map(work, my_foo_obj_list)
pool.close()
pool.join()

Answer 2

Instead of going through all the multithreading/multicore basics, I would like to reference a Post by Ryan W. Smith: Multi-Core and Distributed Programming in Python

He will go into details how you can utilize multiple cores and use those concepts. But please be careful with that stuff if you are not familiar with general multithreading concepts.

Functional Programming will also allow you to customize the algorithm/function for each core.
