Introduction to Parallelism

OCaml 5 introduces multicore, which allows parallel execution in a single process. Based on that, the OCaml Language team developed a collection of compiler features and libraries:

Extending the mode system to track values’ concurrent usages, so they can be used concurrently safely.
Higher-level parallelism primitives to allow users to fully expose opportunities of parallelism in their programs, without worrying low-level details such as overhead.
Integration to existing concurrency frameworks such as [Async].
..and more.

This is a stub, with more complete documentation to follow. For now, please see our parallelism tutorials, beginning with part 1.
