Hi,

I have curiosity to know who is using parmap and for what purpose. Sometimes I believe there are no users out there and then I feel happy when someone pops by and opens an issue. If you are using parmap and want to leave a note, please do that here. I would be very happy to know what is parmap being used for. Once you have answered feel free to click on "Unsubscribe" on the right if you don't want to receive further notifications from other parmap users.

For instance here is one user that wrote me about his paper on spinning black hole binaries where he had used parmap:

• Davide Gerosa and Michael Kesden “PRECESSION. Dynamics of spinning black-hole binaries with python.” Phys. Rev. D 93, 124066 – Published 27 June 2016 arXiv:1605.01067 DOI

Thanks!

I actually found parmap on stackoverflow whilst looking for a nice, py2+py3 way to provide constant variables to map. Finding it supported tqdm was very pleasant. I'm using it help me process about 300GB of seismic data, I hand off to parmap to perform analysis calculations. Thanks for the useful library!

I'm using it for custom scikit-learn estimators.

You could attract potential users if you would add parmap as an answer to related questions on stackoverflow (e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/q/9911819). Indeed, I found it the best solution I tested.

Thanks for the tip. I am not actively searching for more users though. It's great if they find parmap and they like it, and I will talk about parmap to anyone that might be interested. However, I can't spend time on finding users who might like parmap right now, and if these users came I would need to spend even more time fixing issues.

So, when I have the time I will start actively looking for more users. Until then they will have to find parmap if they want to. Feel free to tell others about parmap if you want, though.

I am currently using parmap for my master thesis about emotion detection in tweets.

Just found parmap and loving it, it saved me a lot of partial and pool calls! As for the application: signal analysis for single photon detectors.

One line code to use parallel computation and with progress bar. I love this tiny tool very much. I use it everywhere I need parallelization.

Hi - I am using parmap for generating nodes in knowledge graphs. A couple of questions:

1. If `pm_processes is not passed. Does the number of processes scale to the max available?
2. If each item in the list spawns a long process - Is chunking a good way to speed things up further?

@zeehio Thank you that is a clear and easy explanation. Leaving things at default for now. Wonderful tool!

tagbase-server uses parmap to asynchronously process biologging data from electronic tags deployed on various marine animals. This is an excellent utility library. Thank you @zeehio 👍

@zeehio I used parmap to target 24 million github repos for their language dependency files a few years ago.
This was a part of some security analysis I was doing during my Master's
Very glad this tool existed; especially since I didn't want to move to a compiled language for multi processing stuff.
