Description
I'm having a devil of a time making a minimal test case, but this seems to be my issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23963997/python-child-process-crashes-on-numpy-dot-if-pyside-is-imported
In my case, I have code that farms out a bunch of calculations, including matrix products to a multiprocessing.Pool
with pool.map
. The computation hangs partway through, and some hacky print
-based debugging shows it hanging on a call to np.dot
down in the guts of the program.
Replacing pool.map
with the built-in (serial) map
makes everything work.
I used not to have this issue, then something changed (lunar eclipse?) and now my computation hangs consistently whenever multiprocessing is used. A minimal test case continues to elude me. (It's not enough to simply generate 10 random NxN arrays and dot them in a multiprocessing
-based way.)
