Chapter 14 - multithreading and multiprocessing

See if you can make an echo server and client as separate processes. Even though we did not cover multiprocessing.Pipe(), I trust you can work with it regardless. It can be created through a, b = multiprocessing.Pipe() and you can use it with a.send() or b.send() and a.recv() or b.recv().
Read all files in a directory and sum the size of the files by reading each file using concurrent.futures. If you want an extra challenge, walk through the directories recursively by letting the thread/process queue new items while running.
Read all files in a directory and sum the size of the files by reading each file using threading or multiprocessing
As above, but walk through the directories recursively by letting the thread/process queue new items while running.
Create a pool of workers that keeps waiting for items to be queued through multiprocessing.Queue().
Convert the pool above to a safe RPC (remote procedure call) type operation.
Apply your functional programming skills and calculate something in a parallel way. Perhaps parallel sorting?
