Ray IO
Ray is an open-source distributed computing framework primarily used for building and running scalable and parallel applications. It provides a simple, yet powerful API for distributed computing tasks, allowing developers to easily parallelize their Python code and efficiently utilize computing resources across a cluster.
-
Task Parallelism: Enables parallel execution of Python functions and methods across multiple cores or a distributed cluster.
-
Distributed Execution: Executes tasks across a cluster of machines to efficiently utilize computing resources.
-
Actor Model: Provides an actor-based programming model for managing stateful objects and parallelizing complex workflows.
-
High Performance: Designed for high performance with low overhead and efficient resource utilization.
