Parallel.js: A javascript library for parallel computing

• itsnotvalid 14y ago
  Is this compatible with non-worker-ready browsers?
  • hughes 14y ago
    Doesn't look like it. Clicking "Try It" does nothing, so I guess it has no single-threaded fallback.
  • adambom 14y ago
    You need a way to spawn threads. There may be a way to implement this in the main browser event loop but I have yet to think of a way.

  Is there anything you can't build with javascript?

    Anything that needs weak references. They might land in ES7, though...

  Should add a web worker polyfill like http://code.google.com/p/fakeworker-js/source/browse/src/javascript/fakeworker.js http://code.google.com/p/fakeworker-js/source/browse/src/jav... to the live demos ...

    Check out the github repo. I wrote a worker.js "polyfill" that's meant to emulate web workers for node. I want to apply this to the browser at some point but for now there are hard dependencies on Worker and URL.
