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
: 6411msfastparallel
with results: 2960msfastparallel
without results: 2548ms- non-reusable
setImmediate
: 2545ms
These benchmarks where taken via bench.js
on iojs 1.5.1, 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,
// if you want the results, then here you are
results: true
})
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
array 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 the latest used function, so that running a new parallel does not cause any memory allocations.
