 Parallel interleave is a technique that can improve the performance of the input pipeline by reading and processing data from multiple files in parallel. This can reduce the idle time of the GPU and speed up the training process. Parallel interleave can be implemented using the tf.data.experimental.parallel_interleave () function in TensorFlow, which takes a map function that returns a dataset for each input element, and a cycle length that determines how many input elements are processed concurrently. Parallel interleave can also handle different file sizes and processing times by using a block length argument that controls how many consecutive elements are produced from each input element before switching to another input element.
