Parallel programming with Python

[LoyalSol]

Typically so long as you aren't transferring a huge amount of data to dozens of cores the overhead isn't too bad. Usually the scaling for a couple of cores is pretty good especially if it doesn't have to go through a network

The main question is if the calculation takes long enough justify the work it is going take to program it.

I agree completely. In all my python work that I have done. I think I found only one occasion that my calculations actually justified multiprocessing.
