concurrent computation of a function
Suppose I have two functions f1(x)
and f2(x)
that compute the same entity. Depending on the value of x
one may be much faster than the other, or vice versa. It's apriori unknown which of the two functions will be faster for a given x
.
So, I'd like like to run the two functions on the given x
concurrently in parallel, and as soon as one produces an answer, I'd like to terminate the other function as well and return that answer. Please help me to design such a parallelized function concurrent_run(f1,f2,x)
in Sage.
