Zero-overhead async.parallel

Package Exports

  • fastparallel

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (fastparallel) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

fastparallel

Zero-overhead parallel function call for node.js.

Benchmark for doing 3 calls setImmediate 1 million times:

  • async.parallel: 5953ms
  • fastparallel: 2664ms
  • non-reusable setImmediate: 2221ms

These benchmarks where taken via bench.js on iojs 1.5.0, on a MacBook Pro Retina 2014.

Example

var parallel = require('fastparallel')({
  // this is a function that will be called
  // when a parallel completes
  released: completed,

  // the maximum number of elements in the cache,
  // tune accordingly
  maxCache: 42
})

parallel(
  {}, // what will be this in the functions
  [something, something, something], // functions to call
  42, // the first argument of the functions
  done // the function to be called when the parallel ends
)

function something(arg, cb) {
  setImmediate(cb, null, 'myresult')
}

function done(err, results) {
  console.log('parallel completed, results:', results)
}

function completed() {
  console.log('parallel completed!')
}

Caveats

The results object will be non-ordered, and the done function will be called only once, even if more than one error happen.

This library works by caching functions, so that running a new parallel does not cause any memory allocations.
