Does any know anything about the library ?

This library seems  to do a lot of things that this community whats to 
do with D, although it is written in C++.

It seems to allow the user to write code that will run of multiple cores

Any downside or issues ?

cheers

I read the book a bit. It is quite inconvenient that you need yet another set of containers and functions. Currently, I am more in favor of making the standard algorithms parallel when requested. It should be painless, without rewriting too much code. -- Daniel

My thought exactly - STDC++ (I do not like to call it STL) should have  
this functionality inside, switchable with some macro definition, like  
"ENABLE_PARALLELISM" or something...
