ParallelMap

ParallelMap[f, expr]
applies f in parallel to each element on the first level in expr.

ParallelMap[f, expr, levelspec]
applies f in parallel to parts of expr specified by levelspec.

MORE INFORMATION

ParallelMap is a parallel version of Map, which automatically distributes different applications of f among different kernels and processors.

ParallelMap will give the same results as Map, except for side effects during the computation.

ParallelMap uses the same level specifications as Map. Not all level specifications can be parallelized.

Parallelize[Map[f, expr]] is equivalent to ParallelMap[f, expr].

If an instance of ParallelMap cannot be parallelized it is evaluated using Map.

ParallelMap takes the same Method option as Parallelize.
