EuroSciPy2012 Parallel Python tutorial requirements now online

My EuroSciPy 2012 Parallel Python tutorial requirements are online in this github repo. If you’re coming to my tutorial next Thursday please make sure everything is installed beforehand. The repo includes the slides (not quite yet finished) and a ‘solutions/’ directory which you shouldn’t peek at (that’s there in case we run behind in the tutorial). In the course we’ll cover:

  • multiprocessing
  • parallelpython
  • gearman
  • picloud
  • ipython cluster

This course builds on the Mandelbrot example from my previous High Performance Python course. As noted at the end of the slides I’m probably looking for some long-running consultancy work around Parallel Python/High Performance Python work around London (or maybe Euro/US areas) as the start-up I took to StartupChile didn’t work out. I’m in California at present, returning to London to stay in October.

Also – I’m thinking of writing an updated High Performance+Parallel Python guide (probably as a self-published book) that builds on my original 55 page High Performance Python guide, if you’re interested in hearing about it please join the High Performance Python Mailing List (I’ve only got a list right now). I’ll make an announce once I know more.
