PARCutils - About
PARCutils integrates utilities that can be used by any parallel processing framework including the ones developed by Parallel and Reconfigurable
Computing Group. The framework provides read-to-use mechanisms for convenient, efficient and intuitive parallelization of loops that involve
iterations over collections, based on different scheduling policies. PARCutils can be used for any type of collections (even those that are
inherently sequential, such as lists).
Furthermore, in order to facilitate the management and integeration of results that are normally returned from iterations and parallel processes,
PARCutils offers an extensive set of ready-to-use reduction operations under the RedLib package. RedLib offers an approach called nestable reduction
objects, where reductions on dictionary types (i.e., maps) can nest other reduction objects for performing convoluted operations.
Getting Started
Take a look at the introductions to Parallel Iterator and RedLib, where you can find a comprehensive guide on how to utilize these features with intuitive examples.
