Repository for a tutorial at THW, Berkeley on parallel programming in Python.

This short tutorial introduces parallel programming with mpi4py and concurrent.futures, and applies it to recognition of hand-written digits.

The tutorial is in the form of Jupyter notebooks. You can run these notebooks:

• remotely on mybinder.org: to do so, click the above badge.
• locally on your computer. To do so, install Anaconda and install the requirements by typing

conda config --add channels conda-forge 
conda env create -n parallel_python -f install/environment.yml
source activate parallel_python

NB: This folder is a copy of another repository, but does not contain the corresponding data. If you want to run the notebooks locally, you will need to download the data, by typing:

cd data/
python data_creation.py
