This is an alternative to directly passing keyword arguments to the
:class:`~joblib.Parallel` class constructor. It is particularly useful when
calling into library code that uses joblib internally but does not expose
the various parallel configuration arguments in its own API.
Parameters
----------
backend: str or ParallelBackendBase instance, default=None
If ``backend`` is a string it must match a previously registered
implementation using the :func:`~register_parallel_backend` function.
By default the following backends are available:
- 'loky': single-host, process-based parallelism (used by default),
- 'threading': single-host, thread-based parallelism,
- 'multiprocessing': legacy single-host, process-based parallelism.
'loky' is recommended to run functions that manipulate Python objects.
'threading' is a low-overhead alternative that is most efficient for
functions that release the Global Interpreter Lock: e.g. I/O-bound
code or CPU-bound code in a few calls to native code that explicitly
releases the GIL. Note that on some rare systems (such as pyodide),
multiprocessing and loky may not be available, in which case joblib
defaults to threading.
In addition, if the ``dask`` and ``distributed`` Python packages are
installed, it is possible to use the 'dask' backend for better
scheduling of nested parallel calls without over-subscription and
potentially distribute parallel calls over a networked cluster of
several hosts.
It is also possible to use the distributed 'ray' backend for
distributing the workload to a cluster of nodes. See more details
in the Examples section below.
Alternatively the backend can be passed directly as an instance.
n_jobs: int, default=None
The maximum number of concurrently running jobs, such as the number
of Python worker processes when ``backend="loky"`` or the size of the
thread-pool when ``backend="threading"``.
This argument is converted to an integer, rounded below for float.
If -1 is given, `joblib` tries to use all CPUs. The number of CPUs
``n_cpus`` is obtained with :func:`~cpu_count`.
For n_jobs below -1, (n_cpus + 1 + n_jobs) are used. For instance,
using ``n_jobs=-2`` will result in all CPUs but one being used.
This argument can also go above ``n_cpus``, which will cause
oversubscription. In some cases, slight oversubscription can be
beneficial, e.g., for tasks with large I/O operations.
If 1 is given, no parallel computing code is used at all, and the
behavior amounts to a simple python `for` loop. This mode is not
compatible with `timeout`.
None is a marker for 'unset' that will be interpreted as n_jobs=1
unless the call is performed under a :func:`~parallel_config`
context manager that sets another value for ``n_jobs``.
If n_jobs = 0 then a ValueError is raised.
verbose: int, default=0
The verbosity level: if non zero, progress messages are
printed. Above 50, the output is sent to stdout.
The frequency of the messages increases with the verbosity level.
If it more than 10, all iterations are reported.
temp_folder: str or None, default=None
Folder to be used by the pool for memmapping large arrays
for sharing memory with worker processes. If None, this will try in
order:
- a folder pointed by the ``JOBLIB_TEMP_FOLDER`` environment
variable,
- ``/dev/shm`` if the folder exists and is writable: this is a
RAM disk filesystem available by default on modern Linux
distributions,
- the default system temporary folder that can be
overridden with ``TMP``, ``TMPDIR`` or ``TEMP`` environment
variables, typically ``/tmp`` under Unix operating systems.
max_nbytes int, str, or None, optional, default='1M'
Threshold on the size of arrays passed to the workers that
triggers automated memory mapping in temp_folder. Can be an int
in Bytes, or a human-readable string, e.g., '1M' for 1 megabyte.
Use None to disable memmapping of large arrays.
mmap_mode: {None, 'r+', 'r', 'w+', 'c'}, default='r'
Memmapping mode for numpy arrays passed to workers. None will
disable memmapping, other modes defined in the numpy.memmap doc:
https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.memmap.html
Also, see 'max_nbytes' parameter documentation for more details.
prefer: str in {'processes', 'threads'} or None, default=None
Soft hint to choose the default backend.
The default process-based backend is 'loky' and the default
thread-based backend is 'threading'. Ignored if the ``backend``
parameter is specified.
require: 'sharedmem' or None, default=None
Hard constraint to select the backend. If set to 'sharedmem',
the selected backend will be single-host and thread-based.
inner_max_num_threads: int, default=None
If not None, overwrites the limit set on the number of threads
usable in some third-party library threadpools like OpenBLAS,
MKL or OpenMP. This is only used with the ``loky`` backend.
backend_params: dict
Additional parameters to pass to the backend constructor when
backend is a string.
Notes
-----
Joblib tries to limit the oversubscription by limiting the number of
threads usable in some third-party library threadpools like OpenBLAS, MKL
or OpenMP. The default limit in each worker is set to
``max(cpu_count() // effective_n_jobs, 1)`` but this limit can be
overwritten with the ``inner_max_num_threads`` argument which will be used
to set this limit in the child processes.

multiprocessing and loky may not be available, in which case joblib
defaults to threading.
You can also use the `Dask `_ joblib
backend to distribute work across machines. This works well with
scikit-learn estimators with the ``n_jobs`` parameter, for example::
>>> import joblib # doctest: +SKIP
>>> from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV # doctest: +SKIP

>>> # create a local Dask cluster
>>> cluster = LocalCluster() # doctest: +SKIP

... # doctest: +SKIP
>>> with joblib.parallel_backend("dask", scatter=[X, y]): # doctest: +SKIP
... grid_search.fit(X, y)
It is also possible to use the distributed 'ray' backend for distributing
the workload to a cluster of nodes. To use the 'ray' joblib backend add
the following lines::
>>> from ray.util.joblib import register_ray # doctest: +SKIP
>>> register_ray() # doctest: +SKIP
>>> with parallel_backend("ray"): # doctest: +SKIP
... print(Parallel()(delayed(neg)(i + 1) for i in range(5)))
[-1, -2, -3, -4, -5]
Alternatively the backend can be passed directly as an instance.
By default all available workers will be used (``n_jobs=-1``) unless the
caller passes an explicit value for the ``n_jobs`` parameter.
This is an alternative to passing a ``backend='backend_name'`` argument to
the :class:`~Parallel` class constructor. It is particularly useful when
calling into library code that uses joblib internally but does not expose
the backend argument in its own API.

class Parallel(Logger):
''' Helper class for readable parallel mapping.
Read more in the :ref:`User Guide `.
Parameters
----------
n_jobs: int, default=None
The maximum number of concurrently running jobs, such as the number
of Python worker processes when ``backend="loky"`` or the size of
the thread-pool when ``backend="threading"``.
This argument is converted to an integer, rounded below for float.
If -1 is given, `joblib` tries to use all CPUs. The number of CPUs
``n_cpus`` is obtained with :func:`~cpu_count`.
For n_jobs below -1, (n_cpus + 1 + n_jobs) are used. For instance,
using ``n_jobs=-2`` will result in all CPUs but one being used.
This argument can also go above ``n_cpus``, which will cause
oversubscription. In some cases, slight oversubscription can be
beneficial, e.g., for tasks with large I/O operations.
If 1 is given, no parallel computing code is used at all, and the
behavior amounts to a simple python `for` loop. This mode is not
compatible with ``timeout``.
None is a marker for 'unset' that will be interpreted as n_jobs=1
unless the call is performed under a :func:`~parallel_config`
context manager that sets another value for ``n_jobs``.
If n_jobs = 0 then a ValueError is raised.
backend: str, ParallelBackendBase instance or None, default='loky'
Specify the parallelization backend implementation.
Supported backends are:
- "loky" used by default, can induce some
communication and memory overhead when exchanging input and
output data with the worker Python processes. On some rare
systems (such as Pyiodide), the loky backend may not be
available.
- "multiprocessing" previous process-based backend based on
`multiprocessing.Pool`. Less robust than `loky`.
- "threading" is a very low-overhead backend but it suffers
from the Python Global Interpreter Lock if the called function
relies a lot on Python objects. "threading" is mostly useful
when the execution bottleneck is a compiled extension that
explicitly releases the GIL (for instance a Cython loop wrapped
in a "with nogil" block or an expensive call to a library such
as NumPy).
- finally, you can register backends by calling
:func:`~register_parallel_backend`. This will allow you to
implement a backend of your liking.
It is not recommended to hard-code the backend name in a call to
:class:`~Parallel` in a library. Instead it is recommended to set
soft hints (prefer) or hard constraints (require) so as to make it
possible for library users to change the backend from the outside
using the :func:`~parallel_config` context manager.
return_as: str in {'list', 'generator', 'generator_unordered'}, default='list'
If 'list', calls to this instance will return a list, only when
all results have been processed and retrieved.
If 'generator', it will return a generator that yields the results
as soon as they are available, in the order the tasks have been
submitted with.
If 'generator_unordered', the generator will immediately yield
available results independently of the submission order. The output
order is not deterministic in this case because it depends on the
concurrency of the workers.
prefer: str in {'processes', 'threads'} or None, default=None
Soft hint to choose the default backend if no specific backend
was selected with the :func:`~parallel_config` context manager.
The default process-based backend is 'loky' and the default
thread-based backend is 'threading'. Ignored if the ``backend``
parameter is specified.
require: 'sharedmem' or None, default=None
Hard constraint to select the backend. If set to 'sharedmem',
the selected backend will be single-host and thread-based even
if the user asked for a non-thread based backend with
:func:`~joblib.parallel_config`.
verbose: int, default=0
The verbosity level: if non zero, progress messages are
printed. Above 50, the output is sent to stdout.
The frequency of the messages increases with the verbosity level.
If it more than 10, all iterations are reported.
timeout: float or None, default=None
Timeout limit for each task to complete. If any task takes longer
a TimeOutError will be raised. Only applied when n_jobs != 1
pre_dispatch: {'all', integer, or expression, as in '3*n_jobs'}, default='2*n_jobs'
The number of batches (of tasks) to be pre-dispatched.
Default is '2*n_jobs'. When batch_size="auto" this is reasonable
default and the workers should never starve. Note that only basic
arithmetics are allowed here and no modules can be used in this
expression.
batch_size: int or 'auto', default='auto'
The number of atomic tasks to dispatch at once to each
worker. When individual evaluations are very fast, dispatching
calls to workers can be slower than sequential computation because
of the overhead. Batching fast computations together can mitigate
this.
The ``'auto'`` strategy keeps track of the time it takes for a
batch to complete, and dynamically adjusts the batch size to keep
the time on the order of half a second, using a heuristic. The
initial batch size is 1.
``batch_size="auto"`` with ``backend="threading"`` will dispatch
batches of a single task at a time as the threading backend has
very little overhead and using larger batch size has not proved to
bring any gain in that case.
temp_folder: str or None, default=None
Folder to be used by the pool for memmapping large arrays
for sharing memory with worker processes. If None, this will try in
order:
- a folder pointed by the JOBLIB_TEMP_FOLDER environment
variable,
- /dev/shm if the folder exists and is writable: this is a
RAM disk filesystem available by default on modern Linux
distributions,
- the default system temporary folder that can be
overridden with TMP, TMPDIR or TEMP environment
variables, typically /tmp under Unix operating systems.
Only active when ``backend="loky"`` or ``"multiprocessing"``.
max_nbytes int, str, or None, optional, default='1M'
Threshold on the size of arrays passed to the workers that
triggers automated memory mapping in temp_folder. Can be an int
in Bytes, or a human-readable string, e.g., '1M' for 1 megabyte.
Use None to disable memmapping of large arrays.
Only active when ``backend="loky"`` or ``"multiprocessing"``.
mmap_mode: {None, 'r+', 'r', 'w+', 'c'}, default='r'
Memmapping mode for numpy arrays passed to workers. None will
disable memmapping, other modes defined in the numpy.memmap doc:
https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.memmap.html
Also, see 'max_nbytes' parameter documentation for more details.
Notes
-----
This object uses workers to compute in parallel the application of a
function to many different arguments. The main functionality it brings
in addition to using the raw multiprocessing or concurrent.futures API
are (see examples for details):
* More readable code, in particular since it avoids
constructing list of arguments.
* Easier debugging:
- informative tracebacks even when the error happens on
the client side
- using 'n_jobs=1' enables to turn off parallel computing
for debugging without changing the codepath
- early capture of pickling errors
* An optional progress meter.
* Interruption of multiprocesses jobs with 'Ctrl-C'
* Flexible pickling control for the communication to and from
the worker processes.
* Ability to use shared memory efficiently with worker
processes for large numpy-based datastructures.
Note that the intended usage is to run one call at a time. Multiple
calls to the same Parallel object will result in a ``RuntimeError``
Examples
--------
A simple example:
>>> from math import sqrt
>>> from joblib import Parallel, delayed
>>> Parallel(n_jobs=1)(delayed(sqrt)(i**2) for i in range(10))
[0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0]
Reshaping the output when the function has several return
values:
>>> from math import modf
>>> from joblib import Parallel, delayed
>>> r = Parallel(n_jobs=1)(delayed(modf)(i/2.) for i in range(10))
>>> res, i = zip(*r)
>>> res
(0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.5)
>>> i
(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.0, 4.0, 4.0)
The progress meter: the higher the value of `verbose`, the more
messages:
>>> from time import sleep
>>> from joblib import Parallel, delayed
>>> r = Parallel(n_jobs=2, verbose=10)(
... delayed(sleep)(.2) for _ in range(10)) #doctest: +SKIP
[Parallel(n_jobs=2)]: Done 1 tasks | elapsed: 0.6s
[Parallel(n_jobs=2)]: Done 4 tasks | elapsed: 0.8s
[Parallel(n_jobs=2)]: Done 10 out of 10 | elapsed: 1.4s finished
Traceback example, note how the line of the error is indicated
as well as the values of the parameter passed to the function that
triggered the exception, even though the traceback happens in the
child process:
>>> from heapq import nlargest
>>> from joblib import Parallel, delayed
>>> Parallel(n_jobs=2)(
... delayed(nlargest)(2, n) for n in (range(4), 'abcde', 3))
... # doctest: +SKIP
