class Parallel(Logger):
''' Helper class for readable parallel mapping.
Parameters
-----------
n_jobs: int
The number of jobs to use for the computation. If -1 all CPUs
are used. If 1 is given, no parallel computing code is used
at all, which is useful for debuging. For n_jobs below -1,
(n_cpus + 1 - n_jobs) are used. Thus for n_jobs = -2, all
CPUs but one are used.
verbose: int, optional
The verbosity level: if non zero, progress messages are
printed. Above 50, the output is sent to stdout.
The frequency of the messages increases with the verbosity level.
If it more than 10, all iterations are reported.
pre_dispatch: {'all', integer, or expression, as in '3*n_jobs'}
The amount of jobs to be pre-dispatched. Default is 'all',
but it may be memory consuming, for instance if each job
involves a lot of a data.
Notes
-----
This object uses the multiprocessing module to compute in
parallel the application of a function to many different
arguments. The main functionality it brings in addition to
using the raw multiprocessing API are (see examples for details):
* More readable code, in particular since it avoids
constructing list of arguments.
* Easier debuging:
- informative tracebacks even when the error happens on
the client side
- using 'n_jobs=1' enables to turn off parallel computing
for debuging without changing the codepath
- early capture of pickling errors
* An optional progress meter.
* Interruption of multiprocesses jobs with 'Ctrl-C'
Examples
--------
A simple example:
>>> from math import sqrt
>>> from sklearn.externals.joblib import Parallel, delayed
>>> Parallel(n_jobs=1)(delayed(sqrt)(i**2) for i in range(10))
[0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0]
Reshaping the output when the function has several return
values:
>>> from math import modf
>>> from sklearn.externals.joblib import Parallel, delayed
>>> r = Parallel(n_jobs=1)(delayed(modf)(i/2.) for i in range(10))
>>> res, i = zip(*r)
>>> res
(0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.5)
>>> i
(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.0, 4.0, 4.0)
The progress meter: the higher the value of `verbose`, the more
messages::
>>> from time import sleep
>>> from sklearn.externals.joblib import Parallel, delayed
>>> r = Parallel(n_jobs=2, verbose=5)(delayed(sleep)(.1) for _ in range(10)) #doctest: +SKIP
[Parallel(n_jobs=2)]: Done 1 out of 10 | elapsed: 0.1s remaining: 0.9s
[Parallel(n_jobs=2)]: Done 3 out of 10 | elapsed: 0.2s remaining: 0.5s
[Parallel(n_jobs=2)]: Done 6 out of 10 | elapsed: 0.3s remaining: 0.2s
[Parallel(n_jobs=2)]: Done 9 out of 10 | elapsed: 0.5s remaining: 0.1s
[Parallel(n_jobs=2)]: Done 10 out of 10 | elapsed: 0.5s finished
Traceback example, note how the line of the error is indicated
as well as the values of the parameter passed to the function that
triggered the exception, even though the traceback happens in the
child process::
>>> from string import atoi
>>> from sklearn.externals.joblib import Parallel, delayed
>>> Parallel(n_jobs=2)(delayed(atoi)(n) for n in ('1', '300', 30)) #doctest: +SKIP
#...

called a 3 times before the parallel loop is initiated, and then
called to generate new data on the fly. In this case the total
