Mode Selection (+2)

Mode Selection

Workload Type Recommended Mode Reason
File I/O THREAD_POOL IO-bound, threads avoid GIL issues
Data parsing THREAD_POOL Pandas releases GIL during IO
CPU computation PROCESS_POOL Bypasses GIL for true parallelism
Network requests ASYNC Best for many concurrent connections
Simple operations SEQUENTIAL Overhead may exceed benefit

Worker Count

python
import os

# IO-bound (reading files, network)
io_workers = os.cpu_count() * 2

# CPU-bound (heavy computation)
cpu_workers = os.cpu_count()

# Memory-constrained (large files)
memory_workers = max(2, os.cpu_count() // 2)

Batch Size

  • Small files (<1MB): Large batches (500-1000)
  • Medium files (1-100MB): Medium batches (50-100)
  • Large files (>100MB): Small batches (10-20) or one at a time
