Dask

Dask is a powerful open-source library in Python designed for parallel computing, enabling users to work with large datasets that exceed memory limits. It provides a flexible framework for scaling computations from single machines to distributed clusters, making it ideal for data analysis, machine learning, and other computational tasks. Dask integrates seamlessly with existing Python libraries like NumPy and Pandas, allowing users to leverage familiar tools while enhancing performance. By breaking down complex tasks into smaller, manageable chunks, Dask optimizes resource utilization and accelerates data processing, making it a valuable asset for data scientists and analysts alike.
