Modin
Modin is a distributed dataframe library and parallel data processing engine designed to handle large datasets that exceed system memory. It functions as a distributed computing framework that parallelizes data manipulation tasks across multiple CPU cores or clusters to increase throughput and avoid memory errors.
The project mirrors the Pandas API, allowing for the distribution of data workflows without changing core code logic. It utilizes a pluggable backend interface, which enables users to switch between different distributed execution engines to optimize performance based on available hardware.
The library provides capabilities for out-of-core memory management and partition-based data distribution. These features allow it to process datasets larger than available RAM by loading and computing on data partitions from disk on demand.
