Lecture IX

The video lecture discusses the use of Python’s multiprocessing module for parallelizing code and executing it concurrently. The first part of the lecture focuses on creating a simple Python script that calculates pi using the Leibniz formula. The script utilizes the multiprocessing module to parallelize the calculation and prints the results. The presenter demonstrates how to create a pool of processes and map the calculation function to different resources to execute them in parallel. The second part of the lecture introduces the use of Python and bash together for parallel execution. A bash script is created to generate multiple test cases by modifying a Python script and a Slurm script. The modified scripts are then executed in parallel using the batch command.
