Threading

This document demonstrates practical implementation of threading and multiprocessing in Python to optimize image processing performance. It walks through converting a sequential thumbnail generation script to use ThreadPoolExecutor and ProcessPoolExecutor, comparing their performance characteristics and explaining the differences caused by Python's Global Interpreter Lock.

This document explores concurrency and parallel execution techniques to improve script performance. It covers operating system process management splitting work across processes and threads, understanding I/O-bound versus CPU-bound operations, and finding the optimal balance of parallel tasks to maximize resource utilization without system degradation.
