parallel_workers.py

# @package parallel_workers
# Module caffe2.python.parallel_workers






'''
This module provides a python-land multithreaded mechanism for executing work.

Basic usage is as follows:
   coordinator = parallel_workers.init_workers(
      my_worker_fun,
      worker_name="train"
   )
   ...
   coordinator.start()

First argument is the function to run in a loop on potentially multiple threads.
It has the call signature
    worker_fun(worker_id)

Argument 'worker_name' is used to distinguish different workers,
such as workers processing train data or workers processing test data.

Optionally, one can define an "init function" that is called once before
threads start, and has call signature:
   my_init_fun(worker_coordinator, global_coordinator)

Note that for data_parallel_models, init_workers will be called
for each GPU. Note that the 'coordinator' returned by the function is same
each time.
