Talk:Parallel calculations: Difference between revisions

: I didn't doubt the parallelism. My intention for the task was that to have multiple threads/processes do some parallel calculations (factorize the numbers), and then have the main process receive the results, and proceed with other calculations based on the results. Finding an extremum in these numbers is just an example, the main process might well want to do other things with the returned lists. The current Python solution is different in that it respect: It searches for the minimum already in the sub-process (returning a single number from ''lowest_factor''), but this is not what the task asks for: Return that number and its prime factors. --[[User:Abu|Abu]] 09:02, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
