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 Gramma.Parallel namespace, invoke the AsLongParallel extension method to any IEnumerable<T>. Currently only Where and Select are natively supported. The other LINQ methods are available through the default .NET implementations.
