**`ipc-frontier-py`** implements benchmarks comparing Python concurrency models--**threads**, **Queue-based multiprocessing**, and **SharedMemory-based multiprocessing**--for moving and processing NumPy arrays. The benchmarks highlight throughput, latency, and IPC overheads relevant to ML/AI data pipelines and performance-sensitive Python applications.
TODO
## Development 🛠️
This section contains info about developing the `ipc_frontier` Python package itself.
> **First time working on the project?** Run `make install-tools` then `make setup`.
### Requirements
Supported on Linux and macOS.
### Contributing Code
See [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for the pull request process used to introduce code changes.
### Releases
See [`RELEASE.md`](./RELEASE.md) for a description of the GitHub pipeline that builds and publishes new versions of the `ipc_frontier` package.
### Tooling
The `ipc-frontier-py` project uses **Pyenv** for Python version management and **Poetry** for package management, environment management, and builds.
The `ipc-frontier-py` project uses **Make** to automate common development operations and workflows. Run `make help` or see the `Makefile` in the root of the repository for a full list of the available targets. See the "Make Targets" section below for guidance using selected targets.
### Make Targets
This section describes how and when to use the automated procedures for common development tasks.
#### `install-tools`
```sh
make install-tools
```
Installs the tools required to run other targets. Tools include Pyenv and Poetry. This target only needs to be run once per user.
#### `setup`
```sh
make setup
```
Creates an isolated execution environment to run the project. This target installs the required version of Python using Pyenv and creates a virtual environment using Poetry with the required dependencies plus the `ipc_frontier` package itself installed.
#### `fmt`
```sh
make fmt
```
Autoformats the entire codebase in compliance with the project's style standards. All formatting is handled by Ruff in a way that mimics the combination of Black + autopep8 + isort.
#### `test`
```sh
make test
```
Executes type checks and runs the suite of unit tests. Pyright is used for type checking, and pytest is used as the unit test framework.
#### `clean`
```sh
make clean
```
Deletes build/test/coverage artifacts, including `.pytest_cache/`, `.mypy_cache/`, and `.ruff_cache/`.
