easy-parallel 3.0.0

//! Run closures in parallel.
//!
//! This is a simple primitive for spawning threads in bulk and waiting for them to complete.
//! Threads are allowed to borrow local variables from the main thread.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! Run two threads that increment a number:
//!
//! ```
//! use easy_parallel::Parallel;
//! use std::sync::Mutex;
//!
//! let mut m = Mutex::new(0);
//!
//! Parallel::new()
//!     .add(|| *m.lock().unwrap() += 1)
//!     .add(|| *m.lock().unwrap() += 1)
//!     .run();
//!
//! assert_eq!(*m.get_mut().unwrap(), 2);
//! ```
//!
//! Square each number of a vector on a different thread:
//!
//! ```
//! use easy_parallel::Parallel;
//!
//! let v = vec![10, 20, 30];
//!
//! let squares = Parallel::new()
//!     .each(0..v.len(), |i| v[i] * v[i])
//!     .run();
//!
//! assert_eq!(squares, [100, 400, 900]);
//! ```
//!
//! Compute the sum of numbers in an array:
//!
//! ```
//! use easy_parallel::Parallel;
//!
//! fn par_sum(v: &[i32]) -> i32 {
//!     const THRESHOLD: usize = 2;
//!
//!     if v.len() <= THRESHOLD {
//!         v.iter().copied().sum()
//!     } else {
//!         let half = (v.len() + 1) / 2;
//!         let sums = Parallel::new().each(v.chunks(half), par_sum).run();
//!         sums.into_iter().sum()
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! let v = [1, 25, -4, 10, 8];
//! assert_eq!(par_sum(&v), 40);
//! ```
