Abstract
A parallelism policy object provides a control parallelism interface whose implementation evaluates parallelism conditions that are left unspecified in the interface. User-defined and other parallelism policy procedures can make recommendations to a worker program for transitioning between sequential program execution and parallel execution. Parallelizing assistance values obtained at runtime can be used in the parallelism conditions on which the recommendations are based. A consistent parallelization policy can be employed across a range of parallel constructs, and inside recursive procedures.
