Version 3.3

What's New

Multiprocessing

Multiprocessing is now available for the command line tools, the -c or --cpu_count flag can be used for either the panoptes_aggregation extract or panoptes_aggregation reduce commands. This sets how many cpu cores should be used when processing the CSV files (defaults to 1 core). Using this shows significant speed ups when running with 2 cores, but does not see much improvement in running time when using 3 or more cores.

This option can also be set in the GUI.

Improvements in the running time of the offline reduction code

Before (slow) filters for repeated classifications by a single volunteer were always being run all subjects, the code now checks if there are any repeated classifications before applying the filters.

General bug fixes

Several bug fixes for extractors and reducers based on errors seen in Caesar.
