Question

Hey could someone point how to get the number of threads and cores Dask worker has within Prefect task I m not spawning them from prefect but using the existing workers

Jim Crist-Harif · Answer

Sorry are you asking how many threads cores an individual dask worker has Or how many threads cores your whole cluster has

Jim Crist-Harif · Answer

Prefect tasks themselves take a single thread per active task in a worker

Henrik Väisänen · Answer

yes the single dask worker that is currently executing the prefect task There are multiple workers running on different hardware so I want to access this information

Jim Crist-Harif · Answer

For an accurate number and assuming you re using a `DaskExecutor` you could do ```from distributed import get worker get worker nthreads```

Jim Crist-Harif · Answer

That gives the number of threads the worker has running To access the actual number of cores available on the machine which might be different you can use `os cpu count`

Henrik Väisänen · Answer

thanks `get worker` might be just what I need
