Contrived way to call a function using all CPU cores
Imagine you have a function you'd like to run on a long list of inputs. You could run (mapcar #'FN INPUTS), but that hangs Emacs until done. This library lets you split up the inputs and run the function in many subprocesses---one per CPU core---then merge their outputs and handle the result as if it had been returned by that `mapcar'. In the meantime, current Emacs does not hang at all. You need to know the concept of a callback. Public API: - Function `el-job-launch' (read its docstring) - Function `el-job-await' - Function `el-job-is-busy' - Variable `el-job-major-version' Dev tools: - Command `el-job-cycle-debug-level' - Command `el-job-show-info' - Command `el-job-kill-all'
