# PelemayFp

**Pelemay Fast Parallel map**: provides fast Parallel `map` function, similar to the `Enum` module, although computations will be executed in parallel using `Process.spawn/4`.

Here is a quick example on how to calculate the square of each element with PelemayFp:

```elixir
list
|> PelemayFp.map(& &1 * &1)
```

## Installation

PelemayFp supports only Elixir v1.10 and Erlang/OTP 23+, currently, due to saving our testing efforts. It can be installed by adding `pelemay_fp` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:pelemay_fp, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end
```

The docs can be found at [https://hexdocs.pm/pelemay_fp](https://hexdocs.pm/pelemay_fp).

## Performance

We conducted performance evaluation of PelemayFp, Pelemay, Flow, Enum and Pmap on iMac Pro (2017):

```
