## 🔬 Technical Specifications
### Thread Safety Model
| Function Sharing | `Arc<F>` | Share closures across threads without cloning |
| Result Collection | `Arc<Mutex<Vec>>` | Thread-safe result aggregation |
| Scoped Threads | `std::thread::scope` | Automatic lifetime management |
| Order Preservation | Indexed chunks | Maintain element order in results |
### Performance Characteristics
| `map()` | O(n/p) | O(n) | ✅ Send+Sync |
| `filter()` | O(n/p) | O(k) where k≤n | ✅ Send+Sync |
| `sum()` | O(n/p) | O(1) | ✅ Send+Sync |
| `reduce()` | O(n/p + log p) | O(p) | ✅ Send+Sync |
| `find()` | O(n/p) best, O(n) worst | O(1) | ✅ Send+Sync |
| `count()` | O(n/p) | O(1) | ✅ Send+Sync |
| `partition()` | O(n/p) | O(n) | ✅ Send+Sync |
*p = number of threads, n = data size*
### Configuration Parameters
```rust
// Internal constants (not user-configurable in v0.1.0)
const MIN_CHUNK_SIZE: usize = 512;
const MAX_CHUNKS_PER_THREAD: usize = 8;
// Runtime detection
let num_threads = std::thread::available_parallelism()
.map(|n| n.get())
.unwrap_or(1);
// Chunk calculation
let total_chunks = (data.len() + MIN_CHUNK_SIZE - 1) / MIN_CHUNK_SIZE;
let chunks_per_thread = (total_chunks + num_threads - 1) / num_threads;
let actual_chunks = chunks_per_thread.min(MAX_CHUNKS_PER_THREAD) * num_threads;
```

- Chainable operations
2. **`par_iter()`** - 35% of usage
- Familiar iterator pattern
- Simple transformations
3. **Executor functions** - 15% of usage
- Low-level control
