to that provided by the parallel package.
A 'Par' monad allows the simple description of parallel computations,
and can be used to add parallelism to pure Haskell code. The basic
API is straightforward: a 'Par' monad supports forking and simple
communication in terms of 'IVar's.
This module is an interface module only. It provides a number of
type clasess, but not an implementation. The type classes separate
different levels of 'Par' functionality. See the "Control.Monad.Par.Class"
module for more details.
The monad-par library is one example of a concrete library providing
this interface.
