# Sequential vs Parallel Processing
|
|
|
|
Demonstrates how AsyncParallelBatchNode accelerates processing by 3x over AsyncBatchNode.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Processes identical tasks with two approaches
|
|
- Compares sequential vs parallel execution time
|
|
- Shows 3x speed improvement with parallel processing
|
|
|
|
## Run It
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install pocketflow
|
|
python main.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Output
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
=== Running Sequential (AsyncBatchNode) ===
|
|
[Sequential] Summarizing file1.txt...
|
|
[Sequential] Summarizing file2.txt...
|
|
[Sequential] Summarizing file3.txt...
|
|
|
|
=== Running Parallel (AsyncParallelBatchNode) ===
|
|
[Parallel] Summarizing file1.txt...
|
|
[Parallel] Summarizing file2.txt...
|
|
[Parallel] Summarizing file3.txt...
|
|
|
|
Sequential took: 3.00 seconds
|
|
Parallel took: 1.00 seconds
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Key Points
|
|
|
|
- **Sequential**: Total time = sum of all item times
|
|
- Good for: Rate-limited APIs, maintaining order
|
|
|
|
- **Parallel**: Total time ≈ longest single item time
|
|
- Good for: I/O-bound tasks, independent operations |
