Using dask.distributed as Parallel Pool Example

This example shows how you can use any parallel pool-executor like object to run combos - specifally the dask.distributed.Client.

%config InlineBackend.figure_formats = ['svg']
import xyzpy as xyz
import numpy as np
from dask.distributed import Client

First we instantiate the client:

address = None  # put in an actual address like '127.0.0.1:8786' if you have a scheduler running
c = Client(address=address)
c

Client

Client-9c29bac9-b1b9-11ee-a4c1-a4bb6d3d80bc

Connection method: Cluster object Cluster type: distributed.LocalCluster
Dashboard: http://127.0.0.1:8787/status

Cluster Info

The Client instance can act like a normal parallel pool since it has a submit method and returns futures:

c.submit

<bound method Client.submit of <Client: 'tcp://127.0.0.1:33273' processes=4 threads=8, memory=15.33 GiB>>

Let’s define our test function and combos:

def rad(x, y, n):
    r = (x**n + y**n)**(1 / n)
    if r == 0.0:
        return 1
    return np.sin(r) / r


combos = {
    'x': np.linspace(-15, 15, 51),
    'y': np.linspace(-15, 15, 51),
    'n': [2, 4, 6],
}

r = xyz.Runner(rad, var_names='sinc2d')

Now we can run (or harvest, or grow_missing) our combos, supplying the Client instance to the executor= keyword:

r.run_combos(combos, executor=c)

That should take enough time to check out client status including the tasks being processed on for example: http://127.0.0.1:8787/tasks.

Finally, visualize the output:
