David Lattimore delves into the complexities of parallelizing dynamic graph traversals with Rust's Rayon. His exploration moves beyond fixed workloads, examining iterative approaches: custom work-sharing, scoped spawning, & channel-based solutions. Key insights reveal significant trade-offs involving heap allocations, deadlock risks, and compositional limitations inherent in parallel paradigms. Thoughtful work for those navigating concurrent systems. #RustLang #ParallelComputing #TechEthics
