ProNE multithread
ashkspark opened this issue · comments
Just want to know if ProNE is multithreaded? Is there a way to control the number of threads like the implemented Node2Vec?
Hey,
The ProNE algorithm is inherently sequential. Right now it mainly leverages scipy and numpy:
https://github.com/VHRanger/nodevectors/blob/master/nodevectors/prone.py#L155
Some parts could be optimized (the sparse matrix multiplications could be rewritten in optimized numba or C++) which could leverage a little bit of parallelism, but nothing like the node2vec which is an inherently parallel algorithm (generating random walks in embarassingly parallel)
