        • Pattern: Using nested tasks to achieve nested parallelism
        • Pattern: Using generators to reduce heap memory usage
        • Pattern: Using ray.wait to limit the number of pending tasks
        • Pattern: Using resources to limit the number of concurrently running tasks
        • Pattern: Using asyncio to run actor methods concurrently
        • Pattern: Using an actor to synchronize other tasks and actors
        • Pattern: Using a supervisor actor to manage a tree of actors
        • Pattern: Using pipelining to increase throughput
        • Anti-pattern: Returning ray.put() ObjectRefs from a task harms performance and fault tolerance
        • Anti-pattern: Calling ray.get in a loop harms parallelism
        • Anti-pattern: Calling ray.get unnecessarily harms performance
        • Anti-pattern: Processing results in submission order using ray.get increases runtime
        • Anti-pattern: Fetching too many objects at once with ray.get causes failure
        • Anti-pattern: Over-parallelizing with too fine-grained tasks harms speedup
        • Anti-pattern: Redefining the same remote function or class harms performance
        • Anti-pattern: Passing the same large argument by value repeatedly harms performance
        • Anti-pattern: Closure capturing large objects harms performance
        • Anti-pattern: Using global variables to share state between tasks and actors
        • Anti-pattern: Serialize ray.ObjectRef out of band
