25/** @file parallel/settings.h
26 *  @brief Runtime settings and tuning parameters, heuristics to decide
27 *  whether to use parallelized algorithms.
28 *  This file is a GNU parallel extension to the Standard C++ Library.
29 *
30 *  @section parallelization_decision
31 *  The decision whether to run an algorithm in parallel.
32 *
33 *  There are several ways the user can switch on and __off the parallel
34 *  execution of an algorithm, both at compile- and run-time.
35 *
36 *  Only sequential execution can be forced at compile-time.  This
37 *  reduces code size and protects code parts that have
38 *  non-thread-safe side effects.
39 *
40 *  Ultimately, forcing parallel execution at compile-time makes
41 *  sense.  Often, the sequential algorithm implementation is used as
42 *  a subroutine, so no reduction in code size can be achieved.  Also,
43 *  the machine the program is run on might have only one processor
44 *  core, so to avoid overhead, the algorithm is executed
45 *  sequentially.
46 *
47 *  To force sequential execution of an algorithm ultimately at
48 *  compile-time, the user must add the tag
49*  gnu_parallel::sequential_tag() to the end of the parameter list,
50 *  e. g.
51 *
52 *  \code
53 *  std::sort(__v.begin(), __v.end(), __gnu_parallel::sequential_tag());
54 *  \endcode
55 *
56 *  This is compatible with all overloaded algorithm variants.  No
57 *  additional code will be instantiated, at all.  The same holds for
58 *  most algorithm calls with iterators not providing random access.
59 *
60 *  If the algorithm call is not forced to be executed sequentially
61 *  at compile-time, the decision is made at run-time.
62 *  The global variable __gnu_parallel::_Settings::algorithm_strategy
63 *  is checked. _It is a tristate variable corresponding to:
64 *
65 *  a. force_sequential, meaning the sequential algorithm is executed.
66*  b. force_parallel, meaning the parallel algorithm is executed.
67*  c. heuristic
68 *
69 *  For heuristic, the parallel algorithm implementation is called
70 *  only if the input size is sufficiently large.  For most
71 *  algorithms, the input size is the (combined) length of the input
72*  sequence(__s).  The threshold can be set by the user, individually
73 *  for each algorithm.  The according variables are called
74*  gnu_parallel::_Settings::[algorithm]_minimal_n .
75 *
76 *  For some of the algorithms, there are even more tuning options,
77 *  e. g. the ability to choose from multiple algorithm variants.  See
78 *  below for details.
