Scale your pandas workflows by changing one line of code

Dev Community & Support	Forums	Socials	Docs

What is Modin?

Modin is a drop-in replacement for pandas. While pandas is single-threaded, Modin lets you instantly speed up your workflows by scaling pandas so it uses all of your cores. Modin works especially well on larger datasets, where pandas becomes painfully slow or runs out of memory. Also, Modin comes with the additional APIs to improve user experience.

By simply replacing the import statement, Modin offers users effortless speed and scale for their pandas workflows:

In the GIFs below, Modin (left) and pandas (right) perform the same pandas operations on a 2GB dataset. The only difference between the two notebook examples is the import statement.

The charts below show the speedup you get by replacing pandas with Modin based on the examples above. The example notebooks can be found here. To learn more about the speedups you could get with Modin and try out some examples on your own, check out our 10-minute quickstart guide to try out some examples on your own!

Installation

From PyPI

Modin can be installed with pip on Linux, Windows and MacOS:

pip install "modin[all]" # (Recommended) Install Modin with Ray and Dask engines.

If you want to install Modin with a specific engine, we recommend:

pip install "modin[ray]" # Install Modin dependencies and Ray.
pip install "modin[dask]" # Install Modin dependencies and Dask.
pip install "modin[mpi]" # Install Modin dependencies and MPI through unidist.

To get Modin on MPI through unidist (as of unidist 0.5.0) fully working it is required to have a working MPI implementation installed beforehand. Otherwise, installation of modin[mpi] may fail. Refer to Installing with pip section of the unidist documentation for more details about installation.

Note: Since Modin 0.30.0 we use a reduced set of Ray dependencies: ray instead of ray[default]. This means that the dashboard and cluster launcher are no longer installed by default. If you need those, consider installing ray[default] along with modin[ray].

Modin automatically detects which engine(s) you have installed and uses that for scheduling computation.

From conda-forge

Installing from conda forge using modin-all will install Modin and three engines: Ray, Dask and MPI through unidist.

conda install -c conda-forge modin-all

Each engine can also be installed individually (and also as a combination of several engines):

conda install -c conda-forge modin-ray  # Install Modin dependencies and Ray.
conda install -c conda-forge modin-dask # Install Modin dependencies and Dask.
conda install -c conda-forge modin-mpi # Install Modin dependencies and MPI through unidist.

Note: Since Modin 0.30.0 we use a reduced set of Ray dependencies: ray-core instead of ray-default. This means that the dashboard and cluster launcher are no longer installed by default. If you need those, consider installing ray-default along with modin-ray.

Refer to Installing with conda section of the unidist documentation for more details on how to install a specific MPI implementation to run on.

To speed up conda installation we recommend using libmamba solver. To do this install it in a base environment:

conda install -n base conda-libmamba-solver

and then use it during istallation either like:

conda install -c conda-forge modin-ray --experimental-solver=libmamba

or starting from conda 22.11 and libmamba solver 22.12 versions:

conda install -c conda-forge modin-ray --solver=libmamba

Choosing a Compute Engine

If you want to choose a specific compute engine to run on, you can set the environment variable MODIN_ENGINE and Modin will do computation with that engine:

export MODIN_ENGINE=ray  # Modin will use Ray
export MODIN_ENGINE=dask  # Modin will use Dask
export MODIN_ENGINE=unidist # Modin will use Unidist

If you want to choose the Unidist engine, you should set the additional environment variable UNIDIST_BACKEND. Currently, Modin only supports MPI through unidist:

export UNIDIST_BACKEND=mpi # Unidist will use MPI backend

This can also be done within a notebook/interpreter before you import Modin:

import modin.config as modin_cfg
import unidist.config as unidist_cfg

modin_cfg.Engine.put("ray")  # Modin will use Ray
modin_cfg.Engine.put("dask")  # Modin will use Dask

modin_cfg.Engine.put('unidist') # Modin will use Unidist
unidist_cfg.Backend.put('mpi') # Unidist will use MPI backend

Note: You should not change the engine after your first operation with Modin as it will result in undefined behavior.

Which engine should I use?

On Linux, MacOS, and Windows you can install and use either Ray, Dask or MPI through unidist. There is no knowledge required to use either of these engines as Modin abstracts away all of the complexity, so feel free to pick either!

More about Modin

For the complete documentation on Modin, visit our ReadTheDocs page.

Scale your pandas workflow by changing a single line of code.

Note: In local mode (without a cluster), Modin will create and manage a local (Dask or Ray) cluster for the execution.

To use Modin, you do not need to specify how to distribute the data, or even know how many cores your system has. In fact, you can continue using your previous pandas notebooks while experiencing a considerable speedup from Modin, even on a single machine. Once you've changed your import statement, you're ready to use Modin just like you would with pandas!

Faster pandas, even on your laptop

The modin.pandas DataFrame is an extremely light-weight parallel DataFrame. Modin transparently distributes the data and computation so that you can continue using the same pandas API while working with more data faster. Because it is so light-weight, Modin provides speed-ups of up to 4x on a laptop with 4 physical cores.

In pandas, you are only able to use one core at a time when you are doing computation of any kind. With Modin, you are able to use all of the CPU cores on your machine. Even with a traditionally synchronous task like read_csv, we see large speedups by efficiently distributing the work across your entire machine.

import modin.pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("my_dataset.csv")

Modin can handle the datasets that pandas can't

Often data scientists have to switch between different tools for operating on datasets of different sizes. Processing large dataframes with pandas is slow, and pandas does not support working with dataframes that are too large to fit into the available memory. As a result, pandas workflows that work well for prototyping on a few MBs of data do not scale to tens or hundreds of GBs (depending on the size of your machine). Modin supports operating on data that does not fit in memory, so that you can comfortably work with hundreds of GBs without worrying about substantial slowdown or memory errors. With cluster and out of core support, Modin is a DataFrame library with both great single-node performance and high scalability in a cluster.
