The `multiprocessing.pool.Pool.map_async` function in Python is used to create an asynchronous parallel processing pool. It takes in a function and an iterable as input and applies the function to each item in the iterable in parallel. This function returns a `multiprocessing.pool.AsyncResult` object, which can be used to get the result of the function calls asynchronously. The `map_async` function allows for efficient utilization of multiple processors or cores, resulting in faster execution of the function on each item in the iterable.
