Java^™ Implementation of the Fork-Join Concept

There are two basic implementations of the Fork-Join Concept:

The standard implementation -- also known as "embarrassingly parallel" that splits your request into its component parts and executes those components on separate threads.

The divide-and-conquer implementation -- that dynamically decomposes a request into sub-tasks, places those sub-tasks onto every queue in the system for concurrent execution by threads.

Both these implementations are the product of decades of experience and the finest workmanship.
