Search Results for "immutable"

...The Str is designed to replace long Python str strings and wrap our C-level API. On the other hand, the File memory-maps a file from persistent memory without loading its copy into RAM. The contents of that file would remain immutable, and the mapping can be shared by multiple Python processes simultaneously. A standard dataset pre-processing use case would be to map a sizeable textual dataset like Common Crawl into memory, spawn child processes, and split the job between them.
