+% @doc plists is a drop-in replacement for module
+% lists,
+% making most list operations parallel. It can operate on each element in
+% parallel, for IO-bound operations, on sublists in parallel, for
+% taking advantage of multi-core machines with CPU-bound operations, and
+% across erlang nodes, for parallizing inside a cluster. It handles
+% errors and node failures. It can be configured, tuned, and tweaked to
+% get optimal performance while minimizing overhead.
+%
+% Almost all the functions are
+% identical to equivalent functions in lists, returning exactly the same
+% result, and having both a form with an identical syntax that operates on
+% each element in parallel and a form which takes an optional "malt",
+% a specification for how to parallize the operation.
+%
+% fold is the one exception, parallel fold is different from linear fold.
+% This module also include a simple mapreduce implementation, and the
+% function runmany. All the other functions are implemented with runmany,
+% which is as a generalization of parallel list operations.
+%
+% == Malts ==
+% A malt specifies how to break a list into sublists, and can optionally
+% specify a timeout, which nodes to run on, and how many processes to start
+% per node.
+%
+% Malt = MaltComponent | [MaltComponent]
+% MaltComponent = SubListSize::integer() | {processes, integer()} |
+% {processes, schedulers} |
+% {timeout, Milliseconds::integer()} | {nodes, [NodeSpec]}
+% NodeSpec = Node::atom() | {Node::atom(), NumProcesses::integer()} |
+% {Node::atom(), schedulers}
+%
+% An integer can be given to specify the exact size for
+% sublists. 1 is a good choice for IO-bound operations and when
+% the operation on each list element is expensive. Larger numbers
+% minimize overhead and are faster for cheap operations.
+%
+% If the integer is omitted, and
+% you have specified a {processes, X}, the list is
+% split into X sublists. This is only
+% useful when the time to process each element is close to identical and you
+% know exactly how many lines of execution are available to you.
+%
+% If neither of the above applies, the sublist size defaults to 1.
+%
+% You can use {processes, X} to have the list processed
+% by X processes on the local machine. A good choice for X is the number of
+% lines of execution (cores) the machine provides. This can be done
+% automatically with {processes, schedulers}, which sets
+% the number of processes to the number of schedulers in the erlang virtual
+% machine (probably equal to the number of cores).
+%
+% {timeout, Milliseconds} specifies a timeout. This is a timeout for the entire
+% operation, both operating on the sublists and combining the results.
+% exit(timeout) is evaluated if the timeout is exceeded.
+%
+% {nodes, NodeList} specifies that the operation should be done across nodes.
+% Every element of NodeList is of the form {NodeName, NumProcesses} or
+% NodeName, which means the same as {NodeName, 1}. plists runs
+% NumProcesses processes on NodeName concurrently. A good choice for
+% NumProcesses is the number of lines of execution (cores) a node provides
+% plus one. This ensures the node is completely busy even when
+% fetching a new sublist. This can be done automatically with
+% {NodeName, schedulers}, in which case
+% plists uses a cached value if it has one, and otherwise finds the number of
+% schedulers in the remote node and adds one. This will ensure at least one
+% busy process per core (assuming the node has a scheduler for each core).
+%
+% plists is able to recover if a node goes down.
+% If all nodes go down, exit(allnodescrashed) is evaluated.
+%
+% Any of the above may be used as a malt, or may be combined into a list.
+% {nodes, NodeList} and {processes, X} may not be combined.
+%
+% === Examples ===
+% % start a process for each element (1-element sublists)
+% 1
+%
+% % start a process for each ten elements (10-element sublists)
+% 10
+%
+% % split the list into two sublists and process in two processes
+% {processes, 2}
+%
+% % split the list into X sublists and process in X processes,
+% % where X is the number of cores in the machine
+% {processes, schedulers}
+%
+% % split the list into 10-element sublists and process in two processes
+% [10, {processes, 2}]
+%
+% % timeout after one second. Assumes that a process should be started
+% % for each element.
+% {timeout, 1000}
+%
+% % Runs 3 processes at a time on apple@desktop,
+% and 2 on orange@laptop
+% % This is the best way to utilize all the CPU-power of a dual-core
+% % desktop and a single-core laptop. Assumes that the list should be
+% % split into 1-element sublists.
+% {nodes, [{apple@desktop, 3}, {orange@laptop, 2}]}
+%
+% Like above, but makes plists figure out how many processes to use.
+% {nodes, [{apple@desktop, schedulers}, {orange@laptop, schedulers}]}
+%
+% % Gives apple and orange three seconds to process the list as
+% % 100-element sublists.
+% [100, {timeout, 3000}, {nodes, [{apple@desktop, 3}, {orange@laptop, 2}]}]
+%
+% === Aside: Why Malt? ===
+% I needed a word for this concept, so maybe my subconsciousness gave me one by
+% making me misspell multiply. Maybe it is an acronym for Malt is A List
+% Tearing Specification. Maybe it is a beer metaphor, suggesting that code
+% only runs in parallel if bribed with spirits. It's jargon, learn it
+% or you can't be part of the in-group.
+%
+% == Messages and Errors ==
+% plists assures that no extraneous messages are left in or will later
+% enter the message queue. This is guaranteed even in the event of an error.
+%
+% Errors in spawned processes are caught and propagated to the calling
+% process. If you invoke
+%
+% plists:map(fun (X) -> 1/X end, [1, 2, 3, 0]).
+%
+% you get a badarith error, exactly like when you use lists:map.
+%
+% plists uses monitors to watch the processes it spawns. It is not a good idea
+% to invoke plists when you are already monitoring processes. If one of them
+% does a non-normal exit, plists receives the 'DOWN' message believing it to be
+% from one of its own processes. The error propagation system goes into
+% effect, which results in the error occuring in the calling process.

+% Note that with parallel fold there is not foldl and foldr,

+
+% @doc fold is more complex when made parallel. There is no foldl and foldr,
+% accumulators aren't passed in any defined order.
+% The list is split into sublists which are folded together. Fun is
+% identical to the function passed to lists:fold[lr], it takes
+% (an element, and the accumulator) and returns -> a new accumulator.
+% It is used for the initial stage of folding sublists. Fuse fuses together
+% the results, it takes (Results1, Result2) and returns -> a new result.
+% By default sublists are fused left to right, each result of a fuse being
+% fed into the first element of the next fuse. The result of the last fuse
+% is the result.
+%
+% Fusing may also run in parallel using a recursive algorithm,
+% by specifying the fuse as {recursive, Fuse}. See

+
+% @doc This is a very basic mapreduce. You won't write a Google-rivaling

+% element in the list is run through the MapFunc, which produces either
+% a {Key, Value} pair, or a lists of key value pairs, or a list of lists of
+% key value pairs...etc. A reducer process runs in parallel with the mapping
+% processes, collecting the key value pairs. It starts with a state given by
+% InitState, and for each {Key, Value} pair that it receives it invokes
+% ReduceFunc(OldState, Key, Value) to compute its new state. mapreduce returns
+% the reducer's final state.
+%
+% MapMalt is the malt for the mapping operation, with a default value of 1,
+% meaning each element of the list is mapped by a seperate process.
+%

+
+% Begin internal stuff (though runmany/4 is exported).
+
+% @doc All of the other functions are implemented with runmany. runmany
+% takes a List, splits it into sublists, and starts processes to operate on
+% each sublist, all done according to Malt. Each process passes its sublist
+% into Fun and sends the result back.
+%
+% The results are then fused together to get the final result. There are two
+% ways this can operate, lineraly and recursively. If Fuse is a function,
+% a fuse is done linearly left-to-right on the sublists, the results
+% of processing the first and second sublists being passed to Fuse, then
+% the result of the first fuse and processing the third sublits, and so on. If
+% Fuse is {reverse, FuseFunc}, then a fuse is done right-to-left, the results
+% of processing the second-to-last and last sublists being passed to FuseFunc,
+% then the results of processing the third-to-last sublist and
+% the results of the first fuse, and and so forth.
+% Both methods preserve the original order of the lists elements.
+%
+% To do a recursive fuse, pass Fuse as {recursive, FuseFunc}.
+% The recursive fuse makes no guarantee about the order the results of
+% sublists, or the results of fuses are passed to FuseFunc. It
+% continues fusing pairs of results until it is down to one.
+%
+% Recursive fuse is down in parallel with processing the sublists, and a
+% process is spawned to fuse each pair of results. It is a parallized
+% algorithm. Linear fuse is done after all results of processing sublists
+% have been collected, and can only run in a single process.
+%
+% Even if you pass {recursive, FuseFunc}, a recursive fuse is only done if
+% the malt contains {nodes, NodeList} or {processes, X}. If this is not the
+% case, a linear fuse is done.
