Matthew Flatt 8305e5eaef Chez Scheme: parallel garbage collection 
All allocation is now thread-local, which recovers a small bit of
performance that was lost when adding thread-local allocation
alongside global allocation.

Parallelism uses thread contexts created by Chez Scheme threads (which
correspond to Racket places and future-running threads), but it
creates its own OS-level threads to perform collection. The number of
collection-helper threads is limited to the number of active Chez
Scheme threads. Only the main "sweep" pass runs in parallel --- that
is, after roots have been traversed, and before weak references and
finalization are handled --- but that's the bulk of collection work.
Also, memory-accounting collections always run as single-threaded.

README.md

Racket is a general-purpose programming language and an ecosystem for language-oriented programming.

This repository holds the source code for the core of Racket plus some related packages. The rest of the Racket distribution source code is in other repositories, mostly under the Racket GitHub organization.

Quick Start

Pre-built versions of Racket for a variety of operating systems and architectures, as well as convenient source distributions are available at

https://download.racket-lang.org

Racket comes with extensive documentation, including several tutorials. You can read all of this documentation, as well as documentation for third-party packages at

https://docs.racket-lang.org

Building from Source
