Pythonでの開発効率化のための手探り（フロントエンドとバックエンドを分ける）

昨今はPythonモジュールや機械学習のウェイトの読み込みが遅くなってきて開発効率が悪くなってきたので何か良い仕組み作れないかなと色々手探りしてみました。

とりあえずクラサバ式にしようと思い、IPCや共有メモリを導入しようと思ったのですが、途中でプリロードしたプロセスをforkするだけで良いのでは？と思い始めて実験。でもこれは外れでした。CUDAがforkに対応していないようです。

代わりにforkとsocket pairとpickleでフロントエンドとバックエンドを分けるテストをしてそこそこ動くようになった気がするので試験的に公開してみます。ただソケットペアが完全に安全かはイマイチ確証が持てていないので何かあっても責任は持てません。悪しからず。

(2023年10月23日〜24日追記: コンテキスト引き継いだrunコマンド実装、リモートバックエンド実行のデコレータ追加、戻り値対応、引数渡しのバイナリ化、リモート実行エラーの詳細表示、コールバック対応、酷いバグの修正、タイトル変更)
