How do I use starmap in multiprocessing?

You can use starmap to parallelize function calls with multiple arguments in Python's multiprocessing module. Do you need an example?

Yes, please provide an example of how to use it.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from multiprocessing import Pool

def add(x, y):
    return x + y

if __name__ == '__main__':
    with Pool(5) as p:
        results = p.starmap(add, [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)])
    print(results)  # Output: [3, 7, 11]

What if I want to use it with a larger dataset?

You can simply pass a list of tuples containing your data points to starmap. The function will handle them in parallel, which is great for large datasets!
