Module: `parallel.client.map`¶

Classes used in scattering and gathering sequences.

Scattering consists of partitioning a sequence and sending the various pieces to individual nodes in a cluster.

2 Classes¶

class IPython.parallel.client.map.Map¶

Bases: object

A class for partitioning a sequence using a map.

getPartition(seq, p, q, n=None)¶

Returns the pth partition of q partitions of seq.

The length can be specified as n, otherwise it is the value of len(seq)

class IPython.parallel.client.map.RoundRobinMap¶

Partitions a sequence in a round robin fashion.

This currently does not work!

IPython.parallel.client.map.is_array(obj)¶

Is an object a numpy array?

Avoids importing numpy until it is requested

IPython.parallel.client.map.mappable(obj)¶: return whether an object is mappable or not.
