011_Python中单线程、多线程和多进程的效率对比实验
Python是运行在解释器中的语言,查找资料知道,python中有一个全局锁(GIL),在使用多进程(Thread)的情况下,不能发挥多核的优势。而使用多进程(Multiprocess),则可以发挥多核的优势真正地提高效率。
对比实验
资料显示,如果多线程的进程是CPU密集型的,那多线程并不能有多少效率上的提升,相反还可能会因为线程的频繁切换,导致效率下降,推荐使用多进程;如果是IO密集型,多线程进程可以利用IO阻塞等待时的空闲时间执行其他线程,提升效率。所以我们根据实验对比不同场景的效率

实验结果
CPU密集型操作 | IO密集型操作 | 网络请求密集型操作 | |
---|---|---|---|
线性操作 | 94.91824996469 | 22.46199995279 | 7.3296000004 |
多线程操作 | 101.1700000762 | 24.8605000973 | 0.5053332647 |
多进程操作 | 53.8899999857 | 12.7840000391 | 0.5045000315 |
通过上面的结果,我们可以看到:
- 多线程在IO密集型的操作下似乎也没有很大的优势(也许IO操作的任务再繁重一些就能体现出优势),在CPU密集型的操作下明显地比单线程线性执行性能更差,但是对于网络请求这种忙等阻塞线程的操作,多线程的优势便非常显著了
- 多进程无论是在CPU密集型还是IO密集型以及网络请求密集型(经常发生线程阻塞的操作)中,都能体现出性能的优势。不过在类似网络请求密集型的操作上,与多线程相差无几,但却更占用CPU等资源,所以对于这种情况下,我们可以选择多线程来执行
