synopsis: "Parallelize any computation"
+
Generalized map reduce for parallel computers (not distributed computing).
+
Can process in parallel an infinite stream of elements.
+
Can process a very large file in parallel on a multicore computer;
+
provided there is a way to cut your file into independent blocks
+
(the 'demux' function).
+
The processing function is called 'work'.
+
The function gathering the results is called 'mux'.
+
The number of processors running your computation in parallel is called
+
The chunk size (number of items) processed by one call to the 'work' function
+
There is a minimalist Parmap module, if you want to switch
+
Read the corresponding ocamldoc before using.

USING THIS LIBRARY IN A MISSION CRITICAL, LONG-RUNNING SOFTWARE
+
THAT IS NEVER SUPPOSED TO CRASH IS NOT ADVIZED.
+
WHILE THIS LIBRARY IS HIGH PERFORMANCE, IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS.
