Usage: dask-worker [OPTIONS] [SCHEDULER] [PRELOAD_ARGV]...
Launch a Dask worker attached to an existing scheduler
Options:
--tls-ca-file PATH CA cert(s) file for TLS (in PEM format)
--tls-cert PATH certificate file for TLS (in PEM format)
--tls-key PATH private key file for TLS (in PEM format)
--worker-port TEXT Serving computation port, defaults to
random. When creating multiple workers with
--nworkers, a sequential range of worker
ports may be used by specifying the first
and last available ports like <first-
port>:<last-port>. For example, --worker-
port=3000:3026 will use ports 3000, 3001,
..., 3025, 3026.
--nanny-port TEXT Serving nanny port, defaults to random. When
creating multiple nannies with --nworkers, a
sequential range of nanny ports may be used
by specifying the first and last available
ports like <first-port>:<last-port>. For
example, --nanny-port=3000:3026 will use
ports 3000, 3001, ..., 3025, 3026.
--dashboard-address TEXT Address on which to listen for diagnostics
dashboard
--dashboard / --no-dashboard Launch the Dashboard [default: --dashboard]
--listen-address TEXT The address to which the worker binds.
Example: tcp://0.0.0.0:9000 or tcp://:9000
for IPv4+IPv6
--contact-address TEXT The address the worker advertises to the
scheduler for communication with it and
other workers. Example: tcp://127.0.0.1:9000
--host TEXT Serving host. Should be an ip address that
is visible to the scheduler and other
workers. See --listen-address and --contact-
address if you need different listen and
contact addresses. See --interface.
--interface TEXT Network interface like 'eth0' or 'ib0'
--protocol TEXT Protocol like tcp, tls, or ucx
--nthreads INTEGER Number of threads per process.
--nworkers TEXT Number of worker processes to launch. If
negative, then (CPU_COUNT + 1 + nworkers) is
used. Set to 'auto' to set nworkers and
nthreads dynamically based on CPU_COUNT
--name TEXT A unique name for this worker like
'worker-1'. If used with --nworkers then the
process number will be appended like name-0,
name-1, name-2, ...
--memory-limit TEXT Bytes of memory per process that the worker can use.
This can be:
- an integer (bytes), note 0 is a special case for no memory management.
- a float (fraction of total system memory).
- a string (like 5GB or 5000M).
- 'auto' for automatically computing the memory limit. [default: auto]
--nanny / --no-nanny Start workers in nanny process for
management [default: --nanny]
--pid-file TEXT File to write the process PID
--local-directory TEXT Directory to place worker files
--resources TEXT Resources for task constraints like "GPU=2
MEM=10e9". Resources are applied separately
to each worker process (only relevant when
starting multiple worker processes with '--
nworkers').
--scheduler-file TEXT Filename to JSON encoded scheduler
information. Use with dask scheduler
--scheduler-file
--death-timeout TEXT Seconds to wait for a scheduler before
closing
--dashboard-prefix TEXT Prefix for the dashboard (DEPRECATED)
--lifetime TEXT If provided, shut down the worker after this
duration.
--lifetime-stagger TEXT Random amount by which to stagger lifetime
values
--worker-class TEXT Worker class used to instantiate workers
from. [default: dask.distributed.Worker]
--lifetime-restart / --no-lifetime-restart
Whether or not to restart the worker after
the lifetime lapses. This assumes that you
are using the --lifetime and --nanny
keywords
--preload TEXT Module that should be loaded by each worker
process like "foo.bar" or "/path/to/foo.py"
--preload-nanny TEXT Module that should be loaded by each nanny
like "foo.bar" or "/path/to/foo.py"
--scheduler-sni TEXT Scheduler SNI (if different from scheduler
hostname)
--version Show the version and exit.
--help Show this message and exit.
