Python Multiprocessing
It seems that in Python, Multiprocessing does a lot better than Multithreading.
In Pythonâs multiprocessing
module, there are different methods to start new processes:
- âforkâ: This is the default method on Unix. It forks the parent process, resulting in a new process that is an exact copy of the parent.
- âspawnâ: This method starts a fresh Python interpreter process, which is safer in terms of avoiding certain issues related to shared state but can be slower.
- âforkserverâ: This method starts a server process which forks new processes. Itâs similar to âforkâ but can be more secure.
