Concurrency in Python

I. Multithreading and Multiprocessing

sample_thread.py allows testing multithreading and multiprocessing for different tasks, including I/O-bound and CPU-bound.

Example: CPU-Bound Tasks

The following tests demonstrates that for CPU-bound tasks in Python, multithreading doesn't help, while multiprocessing helps.

1. CPU-Bound, Sequential: ~15s (benchmark)

2. CPU-Bound, Multithreading: ~15s (no gain)

3. CPU-Bound, Multiprocessing: ~5s (huge gain)

II. Asynchronous I/O

sample_async.py leverages Python's asyncio.
