考虑以下脚本,我在其中测试了两种对itertools.tee
获得的生成器执行某些计算的方法:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from sys import argv
from itertools import tee
from multiprocessing import Process
def my_generator():
for i in range(5):
print(i)
yield i
def double(x):
return 2 * x
def compute_double_sum(iterable):
s = sum(map(double, iterable))
print(s)
def square(x):
return x * x
def compute_square_sum(iterable):
s = sum(map(square, iterable))
print(s)
g1, g2 = tee(my_generator(), 2)
try:
processing_type = argv[1]
except IndexError:
processing_type = "no_multi"
if processing_type == "multi":
p1 = Process(target=compute_double_sum, args=(g1,))
p2 = Process(target=compute_square_sum, args=(g2,))
print("p1 starts")
p1.start()
print("p2 starts")
p2.start()
p1.join()
print("p1 finished")
p2.join()
print("p2 finished")
else:
compute_double_sum(g1)
compute_square_sum(g2)
以下是我在“普通”模式下运行脚本时获得的内容:
$ ./test_tee.py
0
1
2
3
4
20
30
这里采用并行模式:
$ ./test_tee.py multi
p1 starts
p2 starts
0
1
2
3
4
20
0
1
2
3
4
30
p1 finished
p2 finished
初始生成器显然以某种方式“复制”,并执行了两次。
我想避免这种情况,因为在我的实际应用程序中,这似乎会导致我用于创建初始生成器(https://github.com/pysam-developers/pysam/issues/397)的一个外部库中的错误,并且仍然可以执行在相同生成的值上并行计算。
有没有办法达到我想要的目的?

我在这里找到了一些替代方法:https://stackoverflow.com/a/26873783/1878788。
在这种方法中,我们不再需要发电机了。我们只是复制其生成的项目并将它们提供给一个复合函数,该函数仅在一个进程中对生成的项目进行并行处理,但我们通过使用Pool
来利用多处理(这就是所谓的映射/减少方法?):
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from itertools import starmap
from multiprocessing import Pool
from functools import reduce
from operator import add
def my_generator():
for i in range(5):
print(i)
yield i
def double(x):
return 2 * x
def square(x):
return x * x
def double_and_square(args_list):
return (double(*args_list[0]), square(*args_list[1]))
def sum_tuples(tup1, tup2):
return tuple(starmap(add, zip(tup1, tup2)))
with Pool(processes=5) as pool:
results_generator = pool.imap_unordered(double_and_square, (((arg,), (arg,)) for arg in my_generator()))
print(reduce(sum_tuples, results_generator))
这适用于玩具示例。我现在必须弄清楚如何在真实的应用案例中组织我的计算。
我尝试使用更高阶函数(make_funcs_applier
)来概括它以生成复合函数(apply_funcs
),但是我收到以下错误:
AttributeError: Can't pickle local object 'make_funcs_applier.<locals>.apply_funcs'
根据评论中的建议,我试图改进上述解决方案,以便更加可重复使用:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""This script tries to work around some limitations of multiprocessing."""
from itertools import repeat, starmap
from multiprocessing import Pool
from functools import reduce
from operator import add
# Doesn't work because local functions can't be pickled:
# def make_tuple_func(funcs):
# def tuple_func(args_list):
# return tuple(func(args) for func, args in zip(funcs, args_list))
# return tuple_func
#
# test_tuple_func = make_tuple_func((plus_one, double, square))
class FuncApplier(object):
"""This kind of object can be used to group functions and call them on a
tuple of arguments."""
__slots__ = ("funcs", )
def __init__(self, funcs):
self.funcs = funcs
def __len__(self):
return len(self.funcs)
def __call__(self, args_list):
return tuple(func(args) for func, args in zip(self.funcs, args_list))
def fork_args(self, args_list):
"""Takes an arguments list and repeat them in a n-tuple."""
return tuple(repeat(args_list, len(self)))
def sum_tuples(*tuples):
"""Element-wise sum of tuple items."""
return tuple(starmap(add, zip(*tuples)))
# Can't define these functions in main:
# They wouldn't be pickleable.
def plus_one(x):
return x + 1
def double(x):
return 2 * x
def square(x):
return x * x
def main():
def my_generator():
for i in range(5):
print(i)
yield i
test_tuple_func = FuncApplier((plus_one, double, square))
with Pool(processes=5) as pool:
results_generator = pool.imap_unordered(
test_tuple_func,
(test_tuple_func.fork_args(args_list) for args_list in my_generator()))
print("sum of x+1:\t%s\nsum of 2*x:\t%s\nsum of x*x:\t%s" % reduce(
sum_tuples, results_generator))
exit(0)
if __name__ == "__main__":
exit(main())
测试它:
$ ./test_fork.py
0
1
2
3
4
sum of x+1: 15
sum of 2*x: 20
sum of x*x: 30
我仍然有一些恼人的限制因为我经常在我的代码中定义本地函数。

multiprocessing
系统将您的主模块导入其启动的每个进程。因此,模块代码在每个过程中执行。
您可以使用始终建议的
来避免这种情况if __name__ == '__main__':
在您的类和函数定义之后,因此主程序的代码仅在启动过程中运行。这应该仅适用于Windows平台,但是由于您抱怨代码运行两次,因此可能值得一试。
