Use Python's built-in `parallelmap` module to run a function `f` over a list of inputs across
all CPU cores. Show me the code using `parallelmap.run(f, items)`.
Proposed solution
Python's standard library does not include a `parallelmap` module. However, you can achieve parallel execution using the `multiprocessing` module, which is part of the standard library. Here's an example of how you can run a function `f` over a list of inputs across all CPU cores using `multiprocessing.Pool`:
```python
import multiprocessing
def f(x):
# Your function definition here
return x * x
if __name__ == '__main__':
items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
with multiprocessing.Pool() as pool:
results = pool.map(f, items)
print(results)
```
If you want a more convenient interface similar to `parallelmap.run(f, items)`, you can create a simple wrapper function:
```python
import multiprocessing
def parallelmap_run(f, items):
with multiprocessing.Pool() as pool:
return pool.map(f, items)
def f(x):
# Your function definition here
return x * x
if __name__ == '__main__':
items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
results = parallelmap_run(f, items)
print(results)
```
This will distribute the work across all available CPU cores.
