    <background>
        <p>Joblib is a set of tools to provide lightweight pipelining in Python. In particular:

1. transparent disk-caching of functions and lazy re-evaluation (memoize pattern)
2. easy simple parallel computing

Joblib is optimized to be fast and robust on large data in particular and has specific optimizations for numpy arrays.</p>
