I've put together a very simple (31 lines) example of parallel task execution here:
https://gist.github.com/lojic/6cee4fcd4220e2788ece The example contains a lot of boilerplate (only a few lines are specific to the problem), so before I go about eliminating the boilerplate myself, I thought I'd ask if this has already been done in a general and reusable way - has it? I'm fairly new to parallel programming in Racket, but thus far I seem to encounter the same pattern repeatedly: 1) Create a pair of place channels to allow sending units of work to parallel workers and retrieving results 2) Create one place per core which repeatedly grabs a unit of work from the queue, calls a function with the unit of work, and places the result on the queue 3) Write all the units of work to the queue 4) Retrieve all the results from the queue It think this can all be boiled down to specifying: 1) The name of the function to do the work (line 4) 2) The list of units of work (line 23) The rest of the example is generic.
