Hello list. Can someone clarify this for me ...
''Spawns a new thread for applying quot to every element of seq, blocking until all quotations complete.'' -- http://docs.factorcode.org/content/word-parallel-each%2Cconcurrency.combinators.html The comment seems to imply that parallel-each runs like the regular each, except in the background. Is this similar to running a command in unix with "&"? Before reading the comment for parallel-each, I assumed that parallel-each would use a pool of threads to apply quot to sections of the sequence, concurrently. I think I am missing something. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
