CHANGES
2021/05/02 (RDC)
Update dune related files (thanks to Gabriel Radanne).
Fixed file descriptor leakage (read pipe end not closed in mapper), reported by Julia Lawall.
2021/04/24 (RDC)
Include fix in bytearray.ml to avoid corruption on 32bit architectures
(drops support for OCaml 4.02.3, thanks to Jerry James)
2021/01/09 (RDC)
Major enhancement: add support for returning results in the right order from
the calls to parmap/parmapi/array_parmap/array_parmapi even when the
chunksize parameter is used. This can be accomplished using the keeporder
parameter.
Documentation, tests and functions parameters updated accordingly.
2020/01/23 (RDC)
Integrated major rewriting of the build system, moving to dune;
dropped compatibility with pre-4.02 OCaml versions. Thanks to Gabriel Radanne.
2011/11/30 (RDC)
Version 0.9.8 contains the following major new features w.r.t. 0.9.4
- a chunksize parameter can be used to control the granularity of the
parallelism: each worker will handle a series of chunks of this size
and ask for them when ready, thus allowing the system to achieve
automatic load balancing
- very specialised versions of the map function are now available for
arrays and float arrays, allowing to obtain significant speed-up even
on relatively light computations
- autoconf and ocamlbuild harness should simplify compilation and installation.
2011/08/30 (RDC)
internally convert lists to array to avoid quadratic penalty in execution time on long lists,
thanks to Paul Vernaza <pvernaza@andrew.cmu.edu> for pointing out this issue;
added 'a sequence type to allow using efficiently the library both with lists and arrays.
