如何将二维数组作为 multiprocessing.Array 传递给 multiprocessing.Pool？

Question

我的目标是将父数组传递给 mp.Pool 并用 2 填充它，同时将其分配给不同的进程。这适用于一维数组：

import numpy as np
import multiprocessing as mp
import itertools


def worker_function(i=None):
    global arr
    val = 2
    arr[i] = val
    print(arr[:])


def init_arr(arr=None):
    globals()['arr'] = arr

def main():
    arr = mp.Array('i', np.zeros(5, dtype=int), lock=False)
    mp.Pool(1, initializer=init_arr, initargs=(arr,)).starmap(worker_function, zip(range(5)))
    print(arr[:])


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

输出：

[2, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[2, 2, 0, 0, 0]
[2, 2, 2, 0, 0]
[2, 2, 2, 2, 0]
[2, 2, 2, 2, 2]
[2, 2, 2, 2, 2]

但是我怎样才能对 x 维数组做同样的事情呢？向 arr 添加维度：

arr = mp.Array('i', np.zeros((5, 5), dtype=int), lock=False)

产生错误：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Artur/Desktop/RL_framework/test2.py", line 23, in <module>
    main()
  File "C:/Users/Artur/Desktop/RL_framework/test2.py", line 17, in main
    arr = mp.Array('i', np.zeros((5, 5), dtype=int), lock=False)
  File "C:\Users\Artur\anaconda3\envs\RL_framework\lib\multiprocessing\context.py", line 141, in Array
    ctx=self.get_context())
  File "C:\Users\Artur\anaconda3\envs\RL_framework\lib\multiprocessing\sharedctypes.py", line 88, in Array
    obj = RawArray(typecode_or_type, size_or_initializer)
  File "C:\Users\Artur\anaconda3\envs\RL_framework\lib\multiprocessing\sharedctypes.py", line 67, in RawArray
    result.__init__(*size_or_initializer)
TypeError: only size-1 arrays can be converted to Python scalars

更改 arr 的 dtype 也无济于事。

你不能直接把multiprocessing.Array当成一个二维数组，但是在one-dimensional内存中，反正二维只是个幻觉:).

幸运的是，numpy 允许从 buffer 读取数组并重塑它，而无需复制它。在下面的演示中，我只使用了一个单独的锁，这样我们就可以逐步观察所做的更改，目前它正在做的事情没有竞争条件。

import multiprocessing as mp
import numpy as np    

def worker_function(i):
    global arr, arr_lock
    val = 2
    with arr_lock:
        arr[i, :i+1] = val
        print(f"{mp.current_process().name}\n{arr[:]}")


def init_arr(arr, arr_lock=None):
    globals()['arr'] = np.frombuffer(arr, dtype='int32').reshape(5, 5)
    globals()['arr_lock'] = arr_lock


def main():
    arr = mp.Array('i', np.zeros(5 * 5, dtype='int32'), lock=False)
    arr_lock = mp.Lock()

    mp.Pool(2, initializer=init_arr, initargs=(arr, arr_lock)).map(
        worker_function, range(5)
    )

    arr = np.frombuffer(arr, dtype='int32').reshape(5, 5)
    print(f"{mp.current_process().name}\n{arr}")


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
