This is curious. I was up for trying to parallelize my code,
specifically having a block of code calculate some polynomials
(*Related to Reed Solomon stuff*). So I cracked open std.parallel
and looked over how I would manage this all.
To my surprise I found ParallelForEach, which gives the example
of:
```d
foreach(value; taskPool.parallel(range) ){code}
```
Since my code doesn't require any memory management, shared
resources or race conditions (*other than stdout*), I plugged in
an iota and gave it a go. To my amazement no compiling issues,
and all my cores are in heavy use and it's outputting results!
Now said results are out of order (*and early results are
garbage from stdout*), but I'd included a bitwidth comment so
sorting should be easy.
```d
0x3,/*7*/
0x11, /*9*/
0x9,/*10*/
0x1D, /*8*/
0x5,/*11*/
0x3,/*15*/
0x53, /*12*/
0x1B, /*13*/
0x2B, /*14*/
```
etc etc.
Previously years ago I remember having to make a struct and then
having to pass a function and a bunch of stuff from within the
struct, often breaking and being hard to get to even work so I
didn't hardly touch this stuff. This is making outputting data
MUCH faster and so easily; Well at least on a beefy computer and
not just some chromebook I'm programming on so it can all be on
the go.
So I suppose, is there anything I need to know? About shared
resources or how to wait until all threads are done?
