easy-parallel

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:

```rust 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();

asserteq!(*m.getmut().unwrap(), 2); ```

Square each number of a vector on a different thread:

```rust 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:

```rust 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]; asserteq!(parsum(&v), 40); ```
