iPyParallel

Getting Started

Select iPyParallel as the plugin then select an option for Python Version and Type within the Application Parameters.

The plugin will create an iPyParallel cluster and launch a Jupyter Notebook/Lab that is used for interacting with the cluster.

Demonstration: Basic iPyParallel Operations

Purpose: Demonstrate how to connect to and use an iPyParallel cluster for basic tasks.

The engines can be accessed through views (ex: rc[:], rc[1], rc[::1]) and then call methods (ex: apply(), apply(), map(), map_sync()) for those engines. The _sync denotes the method is executed as a synchronous task where it blocks until all computation is complete and results returned.
