Overview#

Map() is an idiom in parallel computing where a simple operation is applied to all elements of a sequence, potentially in parallel.

Map() is used to solve embarrassingly parallel problems: those problems that can be decomposed into independent subtasks, requiring no communication/synchronization between the subtasks except a join or barrier at the end.
