Chapter 6 Python Code Alongs

In these code alongs, we learn parallel programming in Python with the multiprocessing module and use it to build a reaction-diffusion simulator. Work through them in order; each lesson contains the video in which we write the code together.

1. Parallelism vs. Concurrency
2. Summing a List Across Processes in Python
3. Any Number of Processes and Timing the Speedup in Python
4. Parallel Craps in Python
5. A Serial Diffusion Simulator in Python
6. Parallel Diffusion with Pool and starmap in Python
7. Reaction-Diffusion: Designing the Serial Engine in Python
8. Reaction-Diffusion: Applying Reactions in Python
9. Parallel Reaction-Diffusion: Strips and Halos in Python
10. Parallel Reaction-Diffusion: Processing Strips in Python
11. A Tour of Reaction Systems
