9 dl 1.3 * Preview versions of classes targeted for Java 7. Includes a
10     * fine-grained parallel computation framework: ForkJoinTasks and
11     * their related support classes provide a very efficient basis for
12     * obtaining platform-independent parallel speed-ups of
13     * computation-intensive operations. They are not a full substitute
14     * for the kinds of arbitrary processing supported by Executors or
15     * Threads. However, when applicable, they typically provide
16     * significantly greater performance on multiprocessor platforms.
17     *
18 jsr166 1.5 * <p>Candidates for fork/join processing mainly include those that
19 dl 1.3 * can be expressed using parallel divide-and-conquer techniques: To
20     * solve a problem, break it in two (or more) parts, and then solve
21     * those parts in parallel, continuing on in this way until the
22     * problem is too small to be broken up, so is solved directly. The
23     * underlying <em>work-stealing</em> framework makes subtasks
24     * available to other threads (normally one per CPU), that help
25     * complete the tasks. In general, the most efficient ForkJoinTasks
26     * are those that directly implement this algorithmic design pattern.
