I am writing custom Python nodes within Dynamo and would like to leverage the ‘System.Threading.Tasks’ library to run parallel tasks to reduce compute time.
Does Python in Dynamo allow parallel tasks / multi-threading?
Hello Carlo,
I’m interested in reduce computing time using Dynamo too. Did you solve this?
Regards.
Take a look at Spring Nodes Mesh.ToPolySurface. It is multithreaded:
