Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for concurrently processing parts of cells of a data structure with multiple processes. Information is provided to indicate a partitioning of the cells of the data structure into a plurality of parts, and having a cursor pointing to a cell in the part. Processes concurrently process different parts of the data structure by performing: determining from the cursor for the part one of the cells in the part to process; processing the cells from the cursor to determine whether to process the unit of work corresponding to the cell; and setting the cursor to identify one of the cells from which processing is to continue in a subsequent iteration in response to processing the units of work for a plurality of the processed cells.
