How do I choose the right library for multiprocessing?

I'm trying to improve the performance of my Python application. How do I choose the right library for multiprocessing?

Choosing the right library depends on your specific needs. Are you looking for ease of use, performance, or compatibility?

Performance is my main concern. I want to maximize CPU usage.

In that case, you might want to consider using the multiprocessing module, as it allows you to create processes that can run on multiple CPU cores.

What about using concurrent.futures? Is it a good option?

Yes, concurrent.futures is great for simpler use cases and provides a higher-level interface. It can be easier to work with for many tasks.

Are there any specific scenarios where one is better than the other?

Absolutely! If you need fine-grained control over processes, multiprocessing is better. For simpler tasks, concurrent.futures is often sufficient.
