我想并行化numpy或pandas操作。为此,我一直在研究pydata的blaze。我的理解是并行化是它的主要卖点。

不幸的是,我找不到在多个内核上运行的操作。火焰中的并行处理是否可用或当前仅是既定目标?难道我做错了什么?我正在使用blaze v0.6.5。

我希望并行化的一个函数的示例:(对pytables列的重复数据删除太大,无法容纳在内存中)

import pandas as pd
import blaze as bz
def f1():
    counter = 0
    groups = pd.DataFrame(columns=['name'])
    t = bz.TableSymbol('t', '{name: string}')
    e = bz.distinct(t)
    for chunk in store.select('my_names', columns=['name'],
                              chunksize=1e5):
        counter += 1
        print('processing chunk %d' % counter)
        groups = pd.concat([groups, chunk])
        groups = bz.compute(e, groups)

遵循Phillip的示例,我遇到了问题:
In [1]: from blaze import Data, compute

In [2]: d = Data('test.bcolz')

In [3]: d.head(5)
Out[3]: <repr(<blaze.expr.collections.Head at 0x7b5e300>) failed: NotImplementedError: Don't know how to compute:

我的环境:
C:\Anaconda>conda list blaze
# packages in environment at C:\Anaconda:
#
blaze                     0.6.8               np19py27_69

但是请注意,大火似乎报告了一个错误的版本:
In [5]: import blaze

In [6]: blaze.__version__
Out[6]: '0.6.7'

对于其他数据源,火焰似乎可以解决问题:
In [6]: d = Data([1,2,2,2,3,4,4,4,5,6])

In [7]: d.head(5)
Out[7]:
   _2
0   1
1   2
2   2
3   2
4   3

In [16]: list(compute(d._2.distinct()))
Out[16]: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

最佳答案

注意:下面的示例需要最新版本的blaze,您可以通过

conda install -c blaze blaze

您还需要最新版本的新生 into 项目。您需要从into安装master,您可以使用
pip install git+git://github.com/ContinuumIO/into.git

您无法使用任意后端进行“无缝”并行化,但是 bcolz 后端以一种不错的方式支持并行化。这是NYC Taxi trip/fare dataset的示例

注意:我已将行程和票价数据集合并为一个数据集。数据集中有173,179,759行
In [28]: from blaze import Data, compute

In [29]: ls -d *.bcolz
all.bcolz/  fare.bcolz/ trip.bcolz/

In [30]: d = Data('all.bcolz')

In [31]: d.head(5)

为了添加基于进程的并行性,我们从Pool stdlib模块中引入multiprocessing类,并将Pool实例的map方法作为关键字参数传递给compute:
In [32]: from multiprocessing import Pool

In [33]: p = Pool()

In [34]: %timeit -n 1 -r 1 values = compute(trip.medallion.distinct())
1 loops, best of 1: 1min per loop

In [35]: %timeit -n 1 -r 1 values = compute(trip.medallion.distinct(), map=p.map)
1 loops, best of 1: 16.2 s per loop

因此,额外的一行代码的速度大约提高了3倍。请注意,这是一个字符串列,与其他类型相比,它们往往效率很低。在一个整数列上计算出的distinct表达式在大约1秒(vs 3秒)内完成,并具有多个内核(因此,运行时间的改善大致相同):
In [38]: %timeit -n 1 -r 1 values = compute(trip.passenger_count.distinct())
1 loops, best of 1: 3.33 s per loop

In [39]: %timeit -n 1 -r 1 values = compute(trip.passenger_count.distinct(), map=p.map)
1 loops, best of 1: 1.01 s per loop

关于python - pydata大火: does it allow parallel processing or not?,我们在Stack Overflow上找到一个类似的问题:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27505764/
