# The devel/ocaml-parmap port

## ocaml-parmap-1.0rc10p7 – OCaml parallel map primitive for multicores

## Description

    Parmap is a minimalistic library allowing to exploit multicore
    architecture for OCaml programs with minimal modifications: if you want
    to use your many cores to accelerate an operation which happens to be a
    map, fold or map/fold (map-reduce), just use Parmap's parmap, parfold
    and parmapfold primitives in place of the standard List.map and friends,
    and specify the number of subprocesses to use by the optional parameter
    ~ncores.
