The lparallel kernel API is meant to describe parallelism in a generic manner. The implementation uses a group of worker threads. It is intended to be efficiency-wise comparable to (or faster than) similar hand-rolled solutions while also providing full condition handling and consistency checks. All higher-level constructs in lparallel are implemented on top of the kernel. (For an implementation of the kernel API that distributes across machines, see lfarm .) Kernel-related operations are applied to the cur...
