This document discusses Joblib, a Python package for parallel computing and caching. It provides an overview of Joblib's capabilities including: making parallel computing easy using an embarrassingly parallel helper; efficient caching of computations on disk to avoid recomputation; persistence of arbitrary objects; and support for multiple parallel and caching backends including threading, multiprocessing, distributed, and Hadoop. The document also discusses using Joblib for cloud computing by configuring parallel backends to run on multiple machines and extending caching to cloud storage backends like S3 and HDFS. Future work includes in-memory caching, overriding parallel backends, replacing multiprocessing, and expanding cloud provider support.
