Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Is there a way to make bash [or another shell] use all CPU cores to execute a single script? Post 302390355 by ph0enix on Wednesday 27th of January 2010 04:57:04 PM

More seriously, regarding python. Python has multi-threading, but it uses only one core (GIL...). You can use several core by using multiple processes with IPC.

Here's what I've got in python so far:

Code:
import threading
import string
theVar = 1
class MyThread ( threading.Thread ):
   def run ( self ):
      global theVar
      theVar = theVar + 1
      for x in set(string.ascii_lowercase):
        print x
        for y in set(string.ascii_lowercase):
         print x,y
         for z in set(string.ascii_lowercase):
          print x,y,z
MyThread().start()

Despite the multiple threads, the python script takes twice as long to execute than the bash script.
Aside from that, something is off with the printed results. Even though the python script prints more lines than the bash script, it seems to be missing all the 1 and 2 letter combinations *Sigh*
