This library emulates a subset of PLINQ for long-running tasks. The reason for introducing such a library is that PLINQ relies on the standard TaskScheduler which in turn uses the .NET thread pool. Long running tasks with default settings have the tendency to starve the thread pool. The library creates the worker tasks with TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning to overcome the problem.

In order to use the library, open the Grammophone.Parallel namespace, invoke the AsLongParallel extension method to any IEnumerable<T>. You can then optionally invoke WithCancellation and WithDegreeOfParallelism as in standard PLINQ. Currently only Where and Select are natively supported.

This library has no dependencies.
