I'm adding this note to express an interest in the functionality described in Stephan's original description, i.e. a parallel_apply method/function which would apply a function in parallel utilizing multiple CPUs. I have (finally) worked out how to use groupby and apply for my application but it would be much more useful if I could apply functions in parallel to take advantage of multiple CPUs. What's the expected effort to make something like this available in xarray? Several months ago I worked on doing this sort of thing without xarray using the multiprocessing module and a shared memory object and I may revisit that soon, but I expect that a solution using xarray will be more elegant so if such a thing is coming in the foreseeable future then I may wait on that and focus on other tasks. Can anyone advise?
