The size of this general collection.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Creates a new parallel iterator used to traverse the elements of this parallel collection. This iterator is more specific than the iterator of the returned by iterator, and augmented with additional accessor and transformer methods.

Defines the prefix of this object's toString representation.

Test two objects for inequality.

Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a NullPointerException.

Returns a new parallel iterable containing the elements from the left hand operand followed by the elements from the right hand operand. The element type of the parallel iterable is the most specific superclass encompassing the element types of the two operands.

adds all elements produced by a TraversableOnce to this growable collection.

adds two or more elements to this growable collection.

Removes all elements produced by an iterator from this shrinkable collection.

Removes two or more elements from this shrinkable collection.

Applies a binary operator to a start value and all elements of this parallel iterable, going left to right.

Note: /: is alternate syntax for foldLeft; z /: xs is the same as xs foldLeft z.

Examples:

Note that the folding function used to compute b is equivalent to that used to compute c.

scala> val a = List(1,2,3,4)
a: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = (5 /: a)(_+_)
b: Int = 15

scala> val c = (5 /: a)((x,y) => x + y)
c: Int = 15

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered. or the operator is associative and commutative.

Applies a binary operator to all elements of this parallel iterable and a start value, going right to left.

Note: :\ is alternate syntax for foldRight; xs :\ z is the same as xs foldRight z.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered. or the operator is associative and commutative.

Examples:

Note that the folding function used to compute b is equivalent to that used to compute c.

scala> val a = List(1,2,3,4)
a: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4)

scala> val b = (a :\ 5)(_+_)
b: Int = 15

scala> val c = (a :\ 5)((x,y) => x + y)
c: Int = 15

The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

Aggregates the results of applying an operator to subsequent elements.

This is a more general form of fold and reduce. It has similar semantics, but does not require the result to be a supertype of the element type. It traverses the elements in different partitions sequentially, using seqop to update the result, and then applies combop to results from different partitions. The implementation of this operation may operate on an arbitrary number of collection partitions, so combop may be invoked arbitrary number of times.

For example, one might want to process some elements and then produce a Set. In this case, seqop would process an element and append it to the set, while combop would concatenate two sets from different partitions together. The initial value z would be an empty set.

pc.aggregate(Set[Int]())(_ += process(_), _ ++ _)

Another example is calculating geometric mean from a collection of doubles (one would typically require big doubles for this).

Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

Create a copy of the receiver object.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

Builds a new collection by applying a partial function to all elements of this parallel map

on which the function is defined.

Creates a combiner factory. Each combiner factory instance is used once per invocation of a parallel transformer method for a single collection.

The default combiner factory creates a new combiner every time it is requested, unless the combiner is thread-safe as indicated by its canBeShared method. In this case, the method returns a factory which returns the same combiner each time. This is typically done for concurrent parallel collections, the combiners of which allow thread safe access.

Tests whether this map contains a binding for a key.

Copies the elements of this parallel map to an array. Fills the given array xs with at most len elements of this parallel map , starting at position start. Copying will stop once either the end of the current parallel map is reached, or the end of the target array is reached, or len elements have been copied.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Copies the elements of this parallel map to an array. Fills the given array xs with values of this parallel map , beginning at index start. Copying will stop once either the end of the current parallel map is reached, or the end of the target array is reached.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Copies the elements of this parallel map to an array. Fills the given array xs with values of this parallel map . Copying will stop once either the end of the current parallel map is reached, or the end of the target array is reached.

Note: will not terminate for infinite-sized collections.

Counts the number of elements in the parallel iterable which satisfy a predicate.

Selects all elements except first n ones.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Drops all elements in the longest prefix of elements that satisfy the predicate, and returns a collection composed of the remaining elements.

This method will use indexFlag signalling capabilities. This means that splitters may set and read the indexFlag state. The index flag is initially set to maximum integer value.

Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:

• It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.
• For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false.
• null.eq(null) returns true.

When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

Compares two maps structurally; i.e., checks if all mappings contained in this map are also contained in the other map, and vice versa.

Tests whether a predicate holds for some element of this parallel iterable.

This method will use abort signalling capabilities. This means that splitters may send and read abort signals.

Selects all elements of this parallel iterable which satisfy a predicate.

Filters this map by retaining only keys satisfying a predicate.

Selects all elements of this parallel iterable which do not satisfy a predicate.

Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

The details of when and if the finalize method is invoked, as well as the interaction between finalize and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

Finds some element in the collection for which the predicate holds, if such an element exists. The element may not necessarily be the first such element in the iteration order.

If there are multiple elements obeying the predicate, the choice is nondeterministic.

This method will use abort signalling capabilities. This means that splitters may send and read abort signals.

Builds a new collection by applying a function to all elements of this parallel map

and using the elements of the resulting collections.

For example:

def getWords(lines: Seq[String]): Seq[String] = lines flatMap (line => line split "\\W+")

The type of the resulting collection is guided by the static type of parallel map . This might cause unexpected results sometimes. For example:

// lettersOf will return a Seq[Char] of likely repeated letters, instead of a Set
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words flatMap (word => word.toSet)

// lettersOf will return a Set[Char], not a Seq
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words.toSet flatMap (word => word.toSeq)

// xs will be an Iterable[Int]
val xs = Map("a" -> List(11,111), "b" -> List(22,222)).flatMap(_._2)

// ys will be a Map[Int, Int]
val ys = Map("a" -> List(1 -> 11,1 -> 111), "b" -> List(2 -> 22,2 -> 222)).flatMap(_._2)

Folds the elements of this sequence using the specified associative binary operator. The order in which the elements are reduced is unspecified and may be nondeterministic.

Note this method has a different signature than the foldLeft and foldRight methods of the trait Traversable. The result of folding may only be a supertype of this parallel collection's type parameter T.

Tests whether a predicate holds for all elements of this parallel iterable.

This method will use abort signalling capabilities. This means that splitters may send and read abort signals.

Returns string formatted according to given format string. Format strings are as for String.format (@see java.lang.String.format).

Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

Returns the value associated with a key, or a default value if the key is not contained in the map.

Partitions this parallel iterable into a map of parallel iterables according to some discriminator function.

Note: this method is not re-implemented by views. This means when applied to a view it will always force the view and return a new parallel iterable.

Tests whether this parallel iterable is known to have a finite size. All strict collections are known to have finite size. For a non-strict collection such as Stream, the predicate returns true if all elements have been computed. It returns false if the stream is not yet evaluated to the end. Non-empty Iterators usually return false even if they were created from a collection with a known finite size.

Note: many collection methods will not work on collections of infinite sizes. The typical failure mode is an infinite loop. These methods always attempt a traversal without checking first that hasDefiniteSize returns true. However, checking hasDefiniteSize can provide an assurance that size is well-defined and non-termination is not a concern.

Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Tests whether this map contains a binding for a key. This method, which implements an abstract method of trait PartialFunction, is equivalent to contains.

Tests whether the parallel iterable is empty.

Note: Implementations in subclasses that are not repeatedly traversable must take care not to consume any elements when isEmpty is called.

Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.

Denotes whether this parallel collection has strict splitters.

This is true in general, and specific collection instances may choose to override this method. Such collections will fail to execute methods which rely on splitters being strict, i.e. returning a correct value in the remaining method.

This method helps ensure that such failures occur on method invocations, rather than later on and in unpredictable ways.

Tests whether this parallel iterable can be repeatedly traversed.

Returns a parallel implementation of this collection.

For most collection types, this method creates a new parallel collection by copying all the elements. For these collection, par takes linear time. Mutable collections in this category do not produce a mutable parallel collection that has the same underlying dataset, so changes in one collection will not be reflected in the other one.

Specific collections (e.g. ParArray or mutable.ParHashMap) override this default behaviour by creating a parallel collection which shares the same underlying dataset. For these collections, par takes constant or sublinear time.

All parallel collections return a reference to themselves.

The default par implementation uses the combiner provided by this method to create a new parallel collection.

Partitions this parallel iterable in two parallel iterables according to a predicate.

Multiplies up the elements of this collection.

Reduces the elements of this sequence using the specified associative binary operator.

Optionally reuses an existing combiner for better performance. By default it doesn't - subclasses may override this behaviour. The provided combiner oldc that can potentially be reused will be either some combiner from the previous computational task, or None if there was no previous phase (in which case this method must return newc).

The task support object which is responsible for scheduling and load-balancing tasks to processors.

Changes the task support object which is responsible for scheduling and load-balancing tasks to processors.

A task support object can be changed in a parallel collection after it has been created, but only during a quiescent period, i.e. while there are no concurrent invocations to parallel collection methods.

Here is a way to change the task support of a parallel collection:

import scala.collection.parallel._
val pc = mutable.ParArray(1, 2, 3)
pc.tasksupport = new ForkJoinTaskSupport(
  new java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool(2))
