How to parallelize loops?
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
In image processing, we frequently apply the same algorithm
|
|
on a large batch of images. Let us define an example.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from skimage import data, color
|
|
from skimage.restoration import denoise_tv_chambolle
|
|
from skimage.feature import hog
|
|
|
|
def tasks(image):
|
|
"""
|
|
Apply some functions.
|
|
"""
|
|
image = denoise_tv_chambolle(image, weight=0.1, multichannel=True)
|
|
fd, hog_image = hog(color.rgb2gray(image), orientations=8,
|
|
pixels_per_cell=(16, 16), cells_per_block=(1, 1),
|
|
visualise=True)
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Prepare images
|
|
hubble = data.hubble_deep_field()
|
|
width = 10
|
|
pics = [hubble[:,slice:slice+width] for slice in range(0, 1000, width)]
|
|
|
|
To call the function ``tasks`` on each element of the list ``pics``, it is
|
|
usual to write a for loop. To measure the execution time of this loop, a function
|
|
is defined and called with ``timeit``.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
def classic_loop():
|
|
for image in pics:
|
|
tasks(image)
|
|
|
|
import timeit
|
|
print("classic_loop():", timeit.timeit("classic_loop()", setup="from __main__ import (classic_loop, tasks, pics)", number=1))
|
|
|
|
Another equivalent way to code this loop is to use a comprehension list which has the same efficiency.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
def comprehension_loop():
|
|
[tasks(image) for image in pics]
|
|
|
|
print("comprehension_loop():", timeit.timeit("comprehension_loop()", setup="from __main__ import (comprehension_loop, tasks, pics)", number=1))
|
|
|
|
``joblib`` is a library providing an easy way to parallelize for loops once we have a comprehension list.
|
|
The number of jobs can be specified.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from joblib import Parallel, delayed
|
|
def joblib_loop():
|
|
Parallel(n_jobs=4)(delayed(tasks)(i) for i in pics)
|
|
|
|
print("joblib_loop():", timeit.timeit("joblib_loop()", setup="from __main__ import (joblib_loop, tasks, pics)", number=1))
