【标题】 python分布式计算框架PP(Parallel Python)集群模式试用

【背景】

Parallel P
ython库（简称PP）
网上的教程都是单机多进程测试，决定试试集群分布式计算效果

【结论】 用了两台物理机，一个4核，一个2核，集群分布式计算 可以看到最终加速比为5.1，计算方法是（60+27）/17=5.1。相当于5.1个CPU核心，比较充分地利用了多个计算机的多个CPU

【操作过程】

配置教程如下：
http://www.parallelpython.com/content/view/15/30/#QUICKCLUSTERS

计算子节点上，需要安装python，并安装pp库，  pip install pp 即可安装pp库 安装完成后，会有一个 ppserver.py在 scripts目录中 python ppserver.py  -p 35000 -i 192.168.1.104 -s “123456” 该命令让计算子结点启动一个35000端口监听，密码是123456，自己的IP是192.168.1.104

主结点中创建ppserver实例时，需要指定ip列表，和secret，与之配合。

主结点运行任务时，可以动态负载均衡方式，发送任务给子结点

试用了官方提供的第一个demo，

并将测试数据改大一些，用了两台物理机，一个4核，一个2核，集群分布式计算 可以看到最终加速比为5.1，计算方法是（60+27）/17=5.1。相当于5.1个CPU核心，比较充分地利用了多个计算机的多个CPU
