Async aims to make writing asyncronous processing easier.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It provides a task-graph with interdependent tasks that communicate
|
||
|
|
using blocking channels, allowing to delay actual computations until
|
||
|
|
items are requested.
|
||
|
|
Tasks will automatically be distributed among 0 or more threads for
|
||
|
|
the actual computation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Even though the GIL effectively prevents true concurrency, operations
|
||
|
|
which block, such as file IO, can be sped up with it already.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In conjuction with custom c extensions which release the GIL, true
|
||
|
|
concurrency can be obtained as well.
