PyCon 2009 Talks accepted.

December 16th, 2008 § 12 comments

Well then!

Last night I got two emails — both of my talks I pro­posed for PyCon 2009 were accepted, here’s the title and abstract from both:

  • Intro­duc­tion to Mul­ti­pro­cess­ing in Python
    • This talk will cover the new mul­ti­pro­cess­ing pack­age included with Python 2.6 (and 3.0) focus­ing on design, ben­e­fits, prac­ti­cal usage, appli­ca­tion con­struc­tion, gotchas and how to use it to build multi-core and dis­trib­uted applications.
  • Con­cur­rency and Dis­trib­uted Com­put­ing with Python Today
    • This talk will cover the recent changes to Python 2.6, includ­ing a brief intro­duc­tion to the thread­ing mod­ule and mul­ti­pro­cess­ing inclu­sion and changes but will pri­mar­ily focus on the con­cur­rent and dis­trib­uted ecosys­tem for Python today.

The first talk is rel­a­tively straight­for­ward — I am going to do an intro­duc­tion to the mp pack­age and all it’s bells and whis­tles. The sec­ond one is more of a “where are we today” with concurrency/distributed sys­tems. I am going to prob­a­bly have to trim down from my ini­tial out­line for time con­straints, but my hope is to be able to cover things like Kamaelia, Drama­tis, and oth­ers as well.

I’ve got most of the first talk done — and I may end up ask­ing the local python users group in Boston if they’re inter­ested in me doing dry runs for both prior to PyCon. Here’s to hop­ing I don’t let any­one down.

    Con­grat­u­la­tions :-) If you need any­thing from me, just shout. If you don’t I’ll look for­ward to read­ing the slides :-)

    I recently encoun­tered the GIL and I am still shocked. I really want to know more about mul­ti­pro­cess­ing in python and how to get around that. Will there be any pos­si­bil­ity of fol­low­ing those talks online?

    I also pro­pose a ques­tion:
    the new intel core i7 microar­chi­tec­ture fea­tures once again Hyper­Thread­ing (simul­ta­ne­ous thread­ing par­al­lelism on every phys­i­cal core), is there any way to fully exploit that with python code?

    Con­grat­u­la­tions! These are top­ics that really seem to be grip­ping the Python com­mu­nity. I hope I can come to your talks and meet you.

    Yeay, Con­grat­u­la­tions!! :)

    Jesse, I had the same thoughts about prac­tice (my talk was also accepted). My bowl­ing league no longer con­flicts with Boston mee­tups so I have no excuse for not going.

    Con­grat­u­la­tions Jesse. I look for­ward to attend­ing your talks. We’re devel­op­ing some in-house data-mining appli­ca­tions in Python and this should prove to be very use­ful for us :)
