This is what a developer wants. The difference you have shown is perfectly helpful. Thank you sir

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Thanks a lot for your kind words… 🙏🙏🙏

[@ahshch]

well the best explanation of difference between multi threading and multi processing

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Thank you so much for your comment and appreciation 🙏

[@raghvendramishra2862]

Great !!!! I have gone through numerous texts and papers, and websites to clearly dig all these questions. But your one video gives answers for all of them. Thanks a lot Sir.

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Thanks a lot for your comment. Glad to know that it helped 🙏

[@Vijay-Yarramsetty]

by far the most lucid explanation of threading vs multi processing in Python. Thanks very much.

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Thank you so much 🙏

Amazing teaching skills ! Thank you for teaching me this very effectively two minutes before my interview !!!

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Thanks for your comment. Glad that it was of some help. All the best for your interview 🙏

Great tutorial, really helpful. One question - at 8:26 not sure how setting kill_thread to True is picked up by the thread. If i were not using threading at all and had that while loop running infinitely, setting kill_thread to True later would not have stopped that loop. Why does it stop it for a thread?

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Hello Thanks for your comment . The thread function is continuously checking kill_thread variable in every iteration, so whenever it will be true, it will be stop the thread Hope it helps Thanks

[@shushens]

Really like this. I hope you keep making more videos like this one. Kintu mama, threading video gulo diye ekta playlist baniye dile khub bhalo hoto.

[@DevendraSingh-xf6cn]

Great Content! Just a question, when you started 2 threads. They both remained in active state. I can understand as 1 thread is running on while loop (infinite) but the other should close after a certain sleep time which is not happening in your case. Please explain: M i missing something here?

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Thanks for your comment. Sorry I might not have understood your question properly, but if you're talking about 2 threads I create (in ~9th minute of this video), then both threads are created using same function i.e. working_thread So the behaviour is expected. Hope it clarifies your doubt

[@haneulkim4902]

Thanks for great video. I have few questions: 1. Each thread takes up 100% CPU, my understanding is CPU_i refers to number of cores(i) then when 2 threads take up 100% of CPU_01, CPU_02 it means that in two cores it has one thread each which utilize all of its computation ability? 2. My goal is distribute training deep learning model using tensorflow. I need to check if it is multi-threading/multi-processing before moving onto multi-device distributed training, I am very new to linux systems therefore do not know how to check if tensorflow utilizes all CPU and does multi-threading/processing. Could you recommend me some courses or materials that will help me understand how to analyze CPU usage?

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Hi Thanks for your comment. irrespective of the number of threads, only 1 CPU will be used. However, in case of Multi Processing, multiple CPU's can be used Hope it helps Thanks

[@chebalid6797]

How would I determine the maximum numbers of threads a proccess can have in regards to the computer resources(RAm, cores etc)

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

It's a system limitation and not of the programming language.. You need to check your system parameters.

[@chebalid6797]

@@Cognitive-Programmer Example I have a linux machine with following Architecture x86_64 CPU(s) : 4 Threads per core : 2 Core(s) per socket : 2 Sockets(s) :1 I have for example a python code, does it mean the most number of threads I can open on this specific code is 2(taking into account the main thread). Am confused about this yet I really want to have a firm understanding

[@SodalisUK]

You can have as many threads as you want, but only 1 that can actually be executing python instructions at any instant because of the GIL.

[@popojamesforreal5667]

Nice video. Pretty helpful :)

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Thank you 🙏

[@tastaslim]

An Insightful Techie I have this doubt, are threads closed automatically by python? I mean what if I don't use join() function, will thread be closed and if yes how does it happen and is there any certain amount of time for that. If you answer it, It will help me a lot. Thank you

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Hello Thanks for your comment. A thread will close automatically when it completes. You don't need to explicitly wait for join, but its a good practice to make sure that all your threads are closed before your program / function terminates. Hope it helps. Thanks

[@aleksandarpetrovic2632]

Amazing explanation, tnx

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Thanks a lot for your comment 🙏🙏🙏

[@vigneshkumar6451]

Wonderful explanation sir. 🙂🙂 One small suggestion to run and show code using any IDE. Difficult to grab in jupyter notebook.. Expecting ML series from you. Thanks..

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Thanks for your valuable feedback. 🙏

[@ananyamahapatra6597]

Thank u so much Sir🙂

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Thank for your comment 🙏

[@yt-1161]

what is there wasn't GIL. would multi-threading and multi-processing be the same

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

In terms of doing CPU intensive task within a process - Loseley Yes, but from an operating system perspective a thread and process are different. for example, you don't need IPC to communicate between threads. Hope it helps. Thanks 🙏

[@Aditya-ne4lk]

maybe you should have explained what is the purpose of GIL, i understood what it does, but not why

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Thanks for your comment and suggestion. Without GIL, python will have to change completely as the current implementation will not run with GIL Hope it clarifies . Thanks again for your comment 🙏

[@SodalisUK]

The purpose of the GIL is to avoid the need for locking objects every time you want to use or change them. If thread 1 is doing x += 1 and thread 2 is doing x -= 1 then x should stay the same but if they both get x at the same time the result will be wrong. Python also keeps a count of the number of references to an object this way, and if this incorrectly drops to zero, and the object is garbage collected into free memory and the memory reused, all sorts of chaos would happen.

[@SodalisUK]

​@@Cognitive-ProgrammerThere is a genuine proposal for a version without the GIL based on a successful proof of concept. But this will still be years away.

[@NS-te8jx]

you should keep your code on git and share links here, so that we could do quick experiments on our machines while watching the videos.. that would make it more attractive and practical

[@Cognitive-Programmer]

Thank you for your valuable suggestion.. will implement for later videos
