        return "Hello from async!"
    
    future = executor.submit(async_task)
    result = future.result()
    print(result)

Priority-based Execution

with HybridExecutor(max_workers=2) as executor:
    # High priority task (lower number = higher priority)
    high_priority = executor.submit(expensive_function, priority=1)
    
    # Low priority task
    low_priority = executor.submit(background_task, priority=10)
    
    # High priority will execute first
    result = high_priority.result()

    gpu_devices = executor.get_gpu_devices()
    print(f"Available GPUs: {gpu_devices}")
    
    # Submit GPU task
    future = executor.submit_gpu(
        gpu_compute_function,
        args=(gpu_data,),
        device="cuda:0",
        priority=1
    )
    
    result = future.result()

Performance Monitoring

counter = AtomicInt(0)
flag = AtomicBool(False)

def worker():
    while not flag.get():
        counter.increment()
        # Do some work...

# Start multiple workers
with HybridExecutor(max_workers=4) as executor:
    futures = [executor.submit(worker) for _ in range(4)]
    
    # Let workers run
    time.sleep(1.0)

📊 Performance

Python Multirunner is designed to take advantage of Python 3.13+'s GIL-free runtime:

• CPU-bound tasks: True parallelism across multiple cores
• Async operations: Efficient event loop integration
• Work stealing: Automatic load balancing
• Priority scheduling: Critical tasks execute first

Benchmark Example

import time
from python_multirunner import HybridExecutor

def cpu_task(n):
    return sum(i * i for i in range(n))

# Sequential execution
start = time.time()
results_seq = [cpu_task(10000) for _ in range(10)]
seq_time = time.time() - start

# Parallel execution
start = time.time()
with HybridExecutor(max_workers=4) as executor:
    futures = [executor.submit(cpu_task, 10000) for _ in range(10)]
    results_par = [future.result() for future in futures]
par_time = time.time() - start

print(f"Sequential: {seq_time:.3f}s")
print(f"Parallel: {par_time:.3f}s")
