Work distribution

Read the atom coordinates of the Zika virus 5ire.pdb using the simple parser provided in pdb.py (see comments in the file for examples on how to use it). In center-of-coords.py is a skeleton code you may also use as a starting point.

Calculate the center of coordinates in parallel by dividing the coordinates in smaller chunks (e.g. 100 coordinates) to separate tasks. After completing the tasks in worker processes, combine the results in the master process.

If needed, figure out also how to deal with any coordinates left out of the neat uniform-sized chunks.

a) Use a Pool of Workers to distribute the tasks to worker processes. Hint: if you return also the weight of each chunk, you can process also non-uniform sized chunks.

OR

b) Use a Queue to distribute the tasks to worker processes. Store the results for each chunk in a separate queue.
