Testing Python 3.5's various concurrency methods

A little suite of tests for gauging the speed of various Python concurrency methods.

This suite tests:

• CPU Bound operations
• I/O Bound operations
• A mix of CPU and I/O operations

Each of the tests contains 5 parts:

• Sequential execution (for comparison).
• Multiprocessing pool execution (classical Python multiprocessing)
• Multithreading pool execution (classical Python threading)
• Python 3.5 async Coroutines (using a multiprocessing pool)
• Python 3.5 async Coroutines (using a threading pool)

Each of the 3 test types should be taken seperately as they contain different computations.

Test it yourself

git clone https://github.com/Sonictherocketman/python3.5_coro_testing
cd python3.5_coro_testing
bash run.sh
