Download

The easiest way to obtain lparallel is with Quicklisp. 

(ql:quickload :lparallel)

This will download, compile, and load lparallel along with its dependency bordeaux-threads. Alternatively, it may be downloaded manually from the following links:

lparallel should run on any Common Lisp implementation supported by bordeaux-threads. The following implementations successfully pass the lparallel test suite:

  • ABCL
  • Allegro
  • Clozure
  • LispWorks
  • SBCL

To run the test suite,

(ql:quickload :lparallel-test)
(lparallel-test:execute)

To run benchmarks,

(ql:quickload :lparallel-bench)
(lparallel-bench:execute N)

where N is the number of processors/cores.
