"""
Using Dask for single-machine parallel computing
================================================

This example shows the simplest usage of the
`Dask <https://docs.dask.org/en/stable/>`_
backend on your local machine.

This is useful for prototyping a solution, to later be run on a truly
`distributed Dask cluster
<https://docs.dask.org/en/stable/deploying.html#distributed-computing>`_,
as the only change needed is the cluster class.

Another realistic usage scenario: combining dask code with joblib code,
for instance using dask for preprocessing data, and scikit-learn for
machine learning. In such a setting, it may be interesting to use
distributed as a backend scheduler for both dask and joblib, to
orchestrate the computation.
