# kernel.parallelfunction

## Module: `kernel.parallelfunction`

Inheritance diagram for `IPython.kernel.parallelfunction`:

A parallelized function that does scatter/execute/gather.

## Classes

### `IMultiEngineParallelDecorator`

class `IPython.kernel.parallelfunction.``IMultiEngineParallelDecorator`(name, bases=(), attrs=None, __doc__=None, __module__=None)

  Bases: `zope.interface.Interface`

  A decorator that creates a parallel function.

  static `__init__`(name, bases=(), attrs=None, __doc__=None, __module__=None)

### `IParallelFunction`

class `IPython.kernel.parallelfunction.``IParallelFunction`(name, bases=(), attrs=None, __doc__=None, __module__=None)

  Bases: `zope.interface.Interface`

  static `__init__`(name, bases=(), attrs=None, __doc__=None, __module__=None)

### `ITaskParallelDecorator`

class `IPython.kernel.parallelfunction.``ITaskParallelDecorator`(name, bases=(), attrs=None, __doc__=None, __module__=None)

  Bases: `zope.interface.Interface`

  A decorator that creates a parallel function.

  static `__init__`(name, bases=(), attrs=None, __doc__=None, __module__=None)

### `ParallelFunction`

class `IPython.kernel.parallelfunction.``ParallelFunction`(mapper)

  Bases: `object`

  The implementation of a parallel function.

  A parallel function is similar to Python’s map function:

  map(func, *sequences) -> pfunc(*sequences)

  Parallel functions should be created by using the @parallel decorator.

  `__init__`(mapper)

    Create a parallel function from an IMapper.

    Parameters: | mapper : an IMapper implementer. The mapper to use for the parallel function
