For iterative parallelism there are work-sharing, work-seeking, and work-stealing forms. For recursive parallelism there are work-sharing and and work seeking forms. Also, the recursive parallelism can provide stack-safe recursion that avoids stack overflow. The stack safe recursion generics provide this capability even if used on a single processor. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Brad Moore
