In pratice, the approach of separate RNGs with different seeds for threads/processes is widely used (even though theoretically those RNGs might have overlaping sequences, which is undesirable). For more discussions on this approach, please refer to The Rust Rand Book - Parallel RNGs and Seed Many RNGs in Rust . The …
Process Big Data Using PySpark

Concurrency and Parallel Computing in Python
The GIL is controversial because it prevents multithreaded CPython programs from taking full advantage of multiprocessor systems in certain situations. Note that potentially blocking or long-running operations, such as I/O, image processing, and NumPy number crunching, happen outside the GIL. Therefore it is only in multithreaded programs that spend …
Parallel Computing Using Multithreading
-
Not all jobs are suitable for parallel computing. The more comminication that threads has to make, the more dependent the jobs are and the less efficient the parallel computing is.
-
Generally speaking, commercial softwares (Mathematica, MATLAB and Revolution R, etc.) have very good support on parallel computing.
