Etymology

Synopsis

Base class used to define a computational unit for parallel processing. The user supplies: i) the get() (fetch the data); ii) the task() (do the work); iii) the put() (send the results back); and iv) the name() (name of the task).

Example

Motivation

The algorithm class is used for embarassingly- or nearly-embarassingly types of parallel problems.

To Do

• Document document document.
