使用地图进行多重处理

Question

I have a list of strings and on every string I am doing some changes that you can see in wordify() . Now, to speed this up, I split up the list into sublists using chunked() (the number of sublists is the number of CPU cores - 1). That way I get lists that look like [[,,],[,,],[,,],[,,]] .

What I try to achieve:

I want to do wordify() on every of these sublists simultaneously, returning the sublists as separate lists. I want to wait until all processes finish and then join these sublists into one list. The approach below does not work.

import multiprocessing
from multiprocessing import Pool
from contextlib import closing

def readFiles():
    words = []
    with open("somefile.txt") as f:
        w = f.readlines()
    words = words + w 
    return words


def chunked(words, num_cpu):
    avg = len(words) / float(num_cpu)
    out = []
    last = 0.0    
    while last < len(words):
        out.append(words[int(last):int(last + avg)])
        last += avg    
    return out    


def wordify(chunk,wl):
    wl.append([chunk[word].split(",", 1)[0] for word in range(len(chunk))]) 
    return wl


if __name__ == '__main__':
    num_cpu = multiprocessing.cpu_count() - 1
    words = readFiles()
    chunked = chunked(words, num_cpu)
    wordlist = []
    wordify(words, wordlist) # works
    with closing(Pool(processes = num_cpu)) as p:
        p.map(wordify, chunked, wordlist) # fails

Answer 1

You have write your code so that you're just passing a single function to map ; it's not smart enough to know that your hoping it passes wordlist into the second argument of your function.

TBH partial function application is a bit clunky in Python, but you can use functools.partial :

from functools import partial
p.map(partial(wordify, wordlist), chunked)
