Hello,
I have already read about Python and multiprocessing which allows using
many processors. The idea is to split a program into separate tasks and
run each of them on a separate processor. However I want to run a Python
program doing a single simple task on many processors so that their
cumulative power is available to the program as if there was one huge
CPU instead of many separate ones. Is it possible? How can it be achieved?
Best regards,
Paweł
As far as I know, the Python VM (cpython) will not analyze your code and
automatically spread parts over different processing units.
I did read, two years or so ago, that AMD was looking in to something
that does just what you say on a cpu level, that is present itself as
one logical cpu but underneath there are multiple physical ones. I
wouldn't hold my breath though waiting for it.
