Create distributed applications with clever design patterns to solve complex problems
Key Features
Set up and run distributed algorithms on a cluster using Dask and PySpark
Master skills to accurately implement concurrency in your code
Gain practical experience of Python design patterns with real-world examples
Book DescriptionThis Learning Path shows you how to leverage the power of both native and third-party Python libraries for building robust and responsive applications. You will learn about profilers and reactive programming, concurrency and parallelism, as well as tools for making your apps quick and efficient. You will discover how to write code for parallel architectures using TensorFlow and Theano, and use a cluster of computers for large-scale computations using technologies such as Dask and PySpark. With the knowledge of how Python design patterns work, you will be able to clone objects, secure interfaces, dynamically choose algorithms, and accomplish much more in high performance computing.
By the end of this Learning Path, you will have the skills and confidence to build engaging models that quickly offer efficient solutions to your problems.
This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products:
Python High Performance - Second Edition by Gabriele Lanaro
Mastering Concurrency in Python by Quan Nguyen

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Dr. Gabriele Lanaro is passionate about good software and is the author of the chemlab and chemview open source packages. His interests span machine learning, numerical computing visualization, and web technologies. In 2013, he authored the first edition of the book High Performance Python Programming. He has been conducting research to study the formation and growth of crystals using medium and large-scale computer simulations. In 2017, he obtained his PhD in theoretical chemistry. Quan Nguyen is a Python enthusiast and data scientist. Currently, he works as a data analysis engineer at Micron Technology, Inc. With a strong background in mathematics and statistics, Quan is interested in the fields of scientific computing and machine learning. With data analysis being his focus, Quan also enjoys incorporating technology automation into everyday tasks through programming. Quan's passion for Python programming has led him to be heavily involved in the Python community. He started as a primary contributor for the Python for Scientists and Engineers book and various open source projects on GitHub. Quan is also a writer for the Python software foundation and an occasional content contributor for DataScience.com (part of Oracle). Sakis Kasampalis is a software engineer living in the Netherlands. He is not dogmatic about particular programming languages and tools; his principle is that the right tool should be used for the right job. One of his favorite tools is Python because he finds it very productive. Sakis has also technically reviewed the Mastering Object-oriented Python and Learning Python Design Patterns books, both published by Packt Publishing.
