# A little history
The `ParallelArray` was part of JSR-166 but ended up being excluded from the standard Java library.
It exists and was released to the public domain. You can download it from the JSR website.



# Parallel array in Java

Although it was already out there, it wasn’t easy to use until closures were included in the
Java language. In Java 7, using the `ParallelArray` looks like the following:

```Java
public class Student {
    String name;
    int graduationYear;
    double gpa;
}
// this predicate
final Ops.Predicate < Student > isSenior =
    new Ops.Predicate < > () {
        public boolean op(Student s) {
            return s.graduationYear == Student.THIS_YEAR;
        }
    };
// and this conversion operation
final Ops.ObjectToDouble < Student > selectGpa =
    new Ops.ObjectToDouble < > () {
        public double op(Student student) {
            return student.gpa;
        }
    };
// create a fork-join-pool
ForkJoinPool fjPool = new ForkJoinPool();
ParallelArray < Student > students = new ParallelArray < > (fjPool, data);
// find the best GPA:
double bestGpa = students.withFilter(isSenior)
    .withMapping(selectGpa)
    .max();
```
In Java 8, we can do the following:

``` Java
// create a fork-join-pool
ForkJoinPool pool = new ForkJoinPool();
ParallelArray < Student > students = new ParallelArray < > (pool, data);
// find the best GPA:
double bestGpa = students
    .withFilter((Student s) - > (s.graduationYear == THIS_YEAR))
    .withMapping((Student s) - > s.gpa)
    .max();
```
However, Java 8’s addition of `stream()` and `parallelStream()` makes this even easier:

``` Java
double bestGpa = students
    .parallelStream()
    .filter(s - > (s.graduationYear == THIS_YEAR))
    .mapToDouble(s - > s.gpa)
    .max().getAsDouble();
```
This makes it extremely simple to switch between a sequential implementation and a concurrent
one.
