ParallelProduct

ParallelProduct[expr, {i, i_max}]
evaluates the product

in parallel.

ParallelProduct[expr, {i, i_min, i_max}]
starts with

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

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

ParallelProduct[expr, {i, i_min, i_max}, {j, j_min, j_max}, ...]
evaluates the multiple product

in parallel.

ParallelProduct is a parallel version of Product, which automatically distributes partial multiplications among different kernels and processors.

ParallelProduct will give the same results as Product, except for side effects during the computation.

Parallelize[Product[expr, iter, ...]] is equivalent to ParallelProduct[expr, iter, ...].

If an instance of ParallelProduct cannot be parallelized it is evaluated using Product.
