ParallelDo

ParallelDo[expr, {i_max}]
evaluates expr in parallel i_max times.

ParallelDo[expr, {i, i_max}]
evaluates expr in parallel with the variable i successively taking on the values

through i_max (in steps of

ParallelDo[expr, {i, i_min, i_max}]
starts with i=i_min.

ParallelDo[expr, {i, i_min, i_max, di}]
uses steps di.

ParallelDo[expr, {i, {i₁, i₂, ...}}]
uses the successive values i₁, i₂, ....

ParallelDo[expr, {i, i_min, i_max}, {j, j_min, j_max}, ...]
evaluates expr looping in parallel over different values of j, etc. for each i.

ParallelDo is a parallel version of Do which automatically distributes different evaluations of expr among different kernels and processors.

If side effects involve unshared variables, they will in general work differently than in Do.
