When you open a large Dataset with Python's Pandas and try to get a few metrics, the entire thing just stops badly. If you work with Big Data on a regular basis, you're probably aware that if you're using Pandas, a simple loading of a series for a couple of million rows can take up to a minute! In the industry, the term/technique parallel computing is used for this. In relation to parallel computing, we will cover parallel computing and the Dask library, which is preferred for such tasks in this article. We will also go through different machine learning features as well available with Dask. The following are the main points to be discussed.
