Hello, I think that the documentation of the parallel package version 3.1.0.1 contains a minor error (I hope that this is the right place to report such an issue). Namely, the documentation of Control.Parallel.Strategies.parMap (see http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/parallel/3.1.0.1/doc/html/Contro...) contains the following remark:
parMap strat f = withStrategy strat . map f
but this is incorrect. Being new to Parallel Haskell, I had been confused by this remark, wondering why this means that the elements are evaluated in parallel, until I found out that the actual implementation was:
parMap strat f = (`using` parList strat) . map f
or equivalently: parMap strat f = withStrategy (parList strat) . map f Please fix the documentation. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Tsuyoshi Tsuyoshi Ito Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~tito/
