Multiprocessing

Warning

This component is not activated by default.

Why do we need it?

Many people around the web who talked about PyFunceble were talking about one thing: We take time to run.

This component allows you to use more than one process if your machine has multiple CPU.

Note

If you use this component you have to take some limits into consideration:

  • Your connection speed.
  • Your machine.

You might not even see a speed if one of both is slow or very slow.

The following might not be touched by the limits but it really depends:

  • URL availability test.
  • Syntax test.
  • Test with DNS LOOKUP only - without WHOIS.

How does it work?

We test multiple subjects at the same time over several processes (1 process = 1 subject tested) and generate our results normally.

Note

While using the JSON format for the database you might have to wait a bit at the very end as we need to merge all data we generated across the past created processes.

Therefore, we recommend using the SQLite or even better the MySQL/MariaDB format which will get rid of that as everything is saved/synchronized at an almost real-time scale.

How to use it?
