但是,如果您确实知道可以并行化代码,则可以始终手动使用线程或进程.只是改编example of using multi-threading from the numba docs：

from timeit import repeat

from numba import jit

    for i in range(len(result)):

def timefunc(correct,s,func,*args,**kwargs):
    """

    """
    print(s.ljust(20),end=" ")
    # Make sure the function is compiled before we start the benchmark
    res = func(*args,**kwargs)
    if correct is not None:
        assert np.allclose(res,correct),(res,correct)
    # time it
    print('{:>5.0f} ms'.format(min(repeat(lambda: func(*args,**kwargs),number=5,repeat=2)) * 1000))
    return res

def make_singlethread(inner_func):
    """

    def func(*args):
        length = len(args[0])
        result = np.empty(length,dtype=np.float64)
        inner_func(result,*args)
        return result
    return func

def make_multithread(inner_func,numthreads):
    """

    arguments into equal-sized chunks.
    """
    def func_mt(*args):
        length = len(args[0])
        result = np.empty(length,dtype=np.float64)
        args = (result,) + args
        chunklen = (length + numthreads - 1) // numthreads
        # Create argument tuples for each input chunk
        chunks = [[arg[i * chunklen:(i + 1) * chunklen] for arg in args]
                  for i in range(numthreads)]
        # Spawn one thread per chunk
        threads = [threading.Thread(target=inner_func,args=chunk)
                   for chunk in chunks]
        for thread in threads:
            thread.start()
        for thread in threads:
            thread.join()
        return result
    return func_mt


func_nb = make_singlethread(inner_func_nb)
func_nb_mt = make_multithread(inner_func_nb,nthreads)

a = np.random.rand(size)
b = np.random.rand(size)

correct = timefunc(None,"numpy (1 thread)",func_np,b)
timefunc(correct,"numba (1 thread)",func_nb,"numba (%d threads)" % nthreads,func_nb_mt,b)

我突出显示了我更改的部分,其他所有内容都是从示例中逐字复制的.这利用了我机器上的所有核心(4核心机器因此4线程),但没有显示出显着的加速：

numpy (1 thread)       539 ms
numba (1 thread)       536 ms
numba (4 threads)      442 ms

在这种情况下,多线程缺乏(很多)加速是加法是带宽受限的操作.这意味着从数组加载元素并将结果放在结果数组中需要花费更多的时间而不是实际添加.

在这些情况下,由于并行执行,您甚至可以看到减速！

只有当函数更复杂并且实际操作与加载和存储数组元素相比需要大量时间时,您才会看到并行执行会有很大改进. numba文档中的示例是这样的：

def func_np(a,b):
    """
    Control function using Numpy.
    """
    return np.exp(2.1 * a + 3.2 * b)

@jit('void(double[:],b):
    """
    Function under test.
    """
    for i in range(len(result)):
        result[i] = math.exp(2.1 * a[i] + 3.2 * b[i])

这实际上(几乎)随着线程数量而缩放,因为两次乘法,一次加法和一次对math.exp的调用比加载和存储结果要慢得多：

func_nb = make_singlethread(inner_func_nb)
func_nb_mt2 = make_multithread(inner_func_nb,2)
func_nb_mt3 = make_multithread(inner_func_nb,3)
func_nb_mt4 = make_multithread(inner_func_nb,4)

a = np.random.rand(size)
b = np.random.rand(size)

correct = timefunc(None,"numba (2 threads)",func_nb_mt2,"numba (3 threads)",func_nb_mt3,"numba (4 threads)",func_nb_mt4,b)

结果：

numpy (1 thread)      3422 ms
numba (1 thread)      2959 ms
numba (2 threads)     1555 ms
numba (3 threads)     1080 ms
numba (4 threads)      797 ms
