An elixir module for parallel execution of functions/processes - StevenJL/parex

Parex – Simple Elixir module for parallel execution launched on May 25, 2015 with 43 votes, #1,174 of 3,670 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

Parex is an Elixir module that enables parallel execution of functions and processes. Designed for Elixir developers, it simplifies running multiple computational tasks concurrently within their applications. The module handles the complexity of managing parallel operations, making it straightforward to leverage multiple CPU cores or execute I/O-bound tasks simultaneously without blocking execution.

    Hello everyone! I'm currently in a journey to learn and improve my Elixir and Go skills (my daily job uses C++) and looking through my backlog for projects to take on I decided Elixir is the perfect language to write a highly-parallel BitTorrent tracker. So I have spent my free time these last 3 months writing one! Now I think it has enough features to present it to the world (and a docker image to give it a quick try). I know some people see trackers as relics of the past now that DHT and PEX are common but I think they still serve a purpose in today's Internet (purely talking about public…

    Hello and happy new year! We're excited to introduce the Pyper package for concurrency & parallelism in Python. Pyper is a flexible framework for concurrent / parallel data processing, following the functional paradigm. Source code can be found on [github](https://github.com/pyper-dev/pyper) Key features: Intuitive API: Easy to learn, easy to think about. Implements clean abstractions to seamlessly unify threaded, multiprocessed, and asynchronous work. Functional Paradigm: Python functions are the building blocks of data pipelines. Let's you write clean, reusable…
