dispy简介
dispy论其实现，还是比较复杂的，但由于大牛们精巧的封装和设计，dispy作为一项工具，非常容易入手并深入使用。dispy既适用于在单机多处理器（SMP）环境下并行计算，也适用在计算机集群上进行并行计算。dispy没有提供各个子任务的通信机制，如有需要，可以直接使用asyncoro库进行通信和同步。
dispy支持python2.7+和python3.1+版本，使用pip工具可以直接安装：sudo pip install dispy。
dispy使用
dispy的精简性的最大体现，就是其逻辑结构极其扁平。它只有四个组件：dispy.py、dispynode.py、dispyscheduler.py、dispynetrelay.py。
拿一个集群来说，每一个主机都可以认为是一个node，而每次提交任务的主体，可以认为是一个client。client提交计算任务，而node进行实际计算。client分两种类型，JobCluster和SharedJobCluster，二者功能基本一致，区别在于，一个主机上只可以有一个JobCluster实例，而可以存在多个SharedJobCluster实例。dispynode.py、dispyscheduler.py分别对应于两种client的node。
dispynetrelay的作用在于对跨域分布式计算提供支持。
node创建
node的创建不需要编写任何代码，在成功安装dispy后，直接在命令行输入dispynode.py即可运行node（–daemon可以创建守护进程运行）。node运行起来后，即可以提交任务进行计算。在创建node时也可以同时指定参数，如设定本地使用的最多CPU数量、向client传递文件时的最大size、指定端口等等。
创建client提交任务
前文已经提到过，dispy可以创建分两种类型client：JobCluster和SharedJobCluster。JobCluster的定义如下：
Class dispy.JobCluster (computation, nodes=[‘*’], depends=[], callback=None, cluster_status=None, ip_addr=None, ext_ip_addr=None, port=51347, node_port=51348, recover_file=None, dest_path=None, loglevel=logging.WARNING, setup=None, cleanup=True, pulse_interval=None, ping_interval=None, reentrant=False, secret=”, keyfile=None, certfile=None)
重要参数说明：
computation：计算主体，可以是一个函数（直接调用），也可以是一个可执行文件（用字符串表示）；
node：依赖的机群中其他node的IP或域名；
depends：依赖的模块、文件或者类，如果其他node没有安装该client所在环境所具有的模块，可以通过此方式共享；
callback：回调函数，指定提交的任务返回中间值或者完成后要执行的行为；
cluster_status：用户指定的函数，在node状态变化时执行该函数；
ip_addr,ext_ip_addr：NAT相关，指定外网IP；
port,node_port：指定与其他client和node通信的端口；
recover_file：存放client运行状态的文件的名称，可以用来恢复client；
dest_path：各个client回传文件时在本地存放文件的路径；
loglevel：日志级别；
setup：指定各个node在运行任务时的初始化函数；
clean：是否清除分布任务生成的文件；
pulse_interval=None, ping_interval=None, reentrant=False：心跳保活相关，reentrant指定node已挂时的策略，reentrant为True时该node在自己已挂时会将任务移交其他node进行，reentrant为False时，node节点挂掉的任务会被取消；
secret,keyfile,certfile：通信安全相关以及SSH相关参数。
SharedJobCluster与JobCluster几乎一致，不再赘述。
Class dispy.SharedJobCluster(computation, nodes=[‘*’], depends=[], ip_addr=None, port=51347, scheduler_node=None, scheduler_port=None, ext_ip_addr=None, dest_path=None, loglevel=logging.WARNING, cleanup=True, reentrant=False, exclusive=False, secret=”, keyfile=None, certfile=None)
建立起来的Cluster可以通过submit方法提交任务，之后可以通过该方法返回的Job获取id，status（Created, Running, Finished, Cancelled orTerminated），ip_addr。提交的任务实体可以被称为Job，最终结果的返回值包含result，std_out，std_err，exception，start_time，end_time。
