Parallel processing API

Description

The Distributed feature provides a set of extensions to the base Smalltalk classes that facilitate performance optimization through parallel processing. These extensions consist of the following methods:

SST equivalent

SST does not supply the equivalent of the Parallel processing API.

Porting guidelines

Since these methods are implemented on top of the basic Smalltalk process model, you can achieve similar results by using the Process model API directly (fork in Process, wait in Semaphore, and so on).
