python中多进程下通信使用管道Pipe与队列 Queue 的区别： Multiprocessing - Pipe vs Queue

参考：

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8463008/multiprocessing-pipe-vs-queue

 

 

 

=========================================================

 

 

区别：

• A Pipe() can only have two endpoints.

• A Queue() can have multiple producers and consumers.

When to use them

If you need more than two points to communicate, use a Queue().

If you need absolute performance, a Pipe() is much faster because Queue() is built on top of Pipe().

 

 

 

------------

 

结论：

In summary Pipe() is about three times faster than a Queue().

 

 

Queue 的底层是使用Pipe来实现的，或者说Queue是对Pipe的进一步包装，所以性能上有所下降，按照上面的参考资料显示速度降为了Pipe的3分之一，但是Queue支持的功能更加广泛，所以使用Pipe还是Queue要综合考虑性能要求及功能需求。
