The layer is now redundant, since everything left in "pkgs" is in the "racket-pkgs" category.

@title[#:tag "parallelism"]{Parallelism}
|
|
|
|
Racket provides two forms of @deftech{parallelism}: @tech{futures} and
|
|
@tech{places}. On a platform that provides multiple processors,
|
|
parallelism can improve the run-time performance of a program.
|
|
|
|
See also @secref["performance"] for information on sequential
|
|
performance in Racket. Racket also provides threads for
|
|
@tech{concurrency}, but threads do not provide parallelism; see
|
|
@secref["concurrency"] for more information.
