GitHub describes it as Easy multi-core processing utilities for Node.. The repository metadata lists JavaScript as its primary language. The metadata lists the MIT license. The README describes the project this way: Parallel.js is a library for to make parallel computing in Javascript simple. It works in Node.js and in the Web Browser.

The README section "Parallel(data, opts)" states: This is the constructor. Use it to new up any parallel jobs. The constructor takes an array of data you want to operate on. This data will be held in memory until you finish your job, and can be accessed via the .data attribute of your job.

The README section "Parallel(data, opts)" states: The object returned by the Parallel constructor is meant to be chained, so you can produce a chain of operations on the provided data.

The README section "Parallel(data, opts)" states: data : This is the data you wish to operate on. Will often be an array, but the only restrictions are that your values are serializable as JSON. options (optional): Some options for your job evalPath (optional): This is the path to the file eval.js. This is required when running in node, and required for some browsers (IE 10) in order to work around cross-domain restrictions for web workers. Defaults to the same location as parallel.js in node environments, and null in the browser. maxWorkers (optional): The maximum number of permitted worker threads. This will default to 4, or the number of cpus on your computer if you're running node synchronous (optional): If webworkers are not available, whether or not to fall back to synchronous processing using setTimeout . Defaults to true .
