How to Use Threads for Parallelism in Python
threads is not really going to do much for you, right? Yeah. You can't increase your throughput of computation with threads or any kind of concurrent infrastructure in Python. Cannot get parallelism that way. Whereas asynchronous things you can do in parallel. So it's great for kind of blocking tasks or IO bound tasks threads are, but they don't actually help you go faster. Right. But parallelism is I'm trying to compute this financial algorithm. And it's just a computational thing in breaking that up into steps and trying to run that.
