Quick Start

Basic Parallel Iterator

use veda_rs::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    // Lazy initialization - no init() needed!
    let sum: i32 = (0..1000)
        .into_par_iter()
        .map(|x| x * 2)
        .sum();
    
    println!("Sum: {}", sum);
    // Runtime automatically managed
}

Note: Explicit init() and shutdown() are optional with lazy initialization enabled by default.

Vec and Slice Support

use veda_rs::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    veda_rs::init().unwrap();
    
    // Vec parallel processing
    let vec = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    let doubled: Vec<i32> = vec.into_par_iter()
        .map(|x| x * 2)
        .collect();
    
    // Slice parallel processing
    let array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    let sum: i32 = array.par_iter().sum();
    
    veda_rs::shutdown();
}

Predicate Methods

use veda_rs::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    veda_rs::init().unwrap();
    
    // Check if any element matches
    let has_large = (0..1000).into_par_iter().any(|x| *x > 500);
    
    // Check if all elements match
    let all_positive = vec![1, 2, 3].into_par_iter().all(|x| *x > 0);
    
    // Find any matching element
    let found = (0..1000).into_par_iter().find_any(|x| *x == 42);
    
    veda_rs::shutdown();
}

Custom Configuration

use veda_rs::{Config, SchedulingPolicy};

fn main() {
    let config = Config::builder()
        .num_threads(4)
        .scheduling_policy(SchedulingPolicy::Adaptive)
        .build()
        .unwrap();
    
    veda_rs::init_with_config(config).unwrap();
    veda_rs::shutdown();
}

Scoped Parallelism

use veda_rs::scope;

fn main() {
    veda_rs::init().unwrap();
    
    let data = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    
    scope::scope(|s| {
        for item in &data {
            let item = *item;
            s.spawn(move || {
                println!("Processing: {}", item * 2);
            });
        }
    });
    
    veda_rs::shutdown();
}

Performance

Benchmarks show competitive performance on uniform workloads, with significant improvements on variable workloads:

Workload Type	VEDA Performance	Notes
CPU-bound, uniform	Baseline	Industry-standard performance
CPU-bound, variable	1.2-1.8x faster	Adaptive scheduling wins
Small tasks (<1ms)	~0.95x	Slight overhead from telemetry
Large tasks (>100ms)	1.1-1.5x faster	Superior load balancing

Run benchmarks:

cargo bench

Testing

VEDA includes comprehensive test coverage with 68 passing tests:

# Run all tests (requires serial execution due to global runtime)
cargo test -- --test-threads=1

# Run integration tests
cargo test --test integration_test -- --test-threads=1

# Run stress tests (long-running)
cargo test --test stress_test -- --test-threads=1 --ignored

# Run benchmarks
cargo bench

Migration from Other Libraries

VEDA is designed as a drop-in replacement for standard parallel libraries:

Before (Other Library):

use other_lib::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let sum: i32 = (0..1000).into_par_iter().sum();
}

After (VEDA):

use veda_rs::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    veda_rs::init().unwrap();
    let sum: i32 = (0..1000).into_par_iter().sum();
    veda_rs::shutdown();
}

Key Differences:

1. Explicit init() and shutdown() calls for runtime management (optional with lazy initialization)
2. Use veda_rs:: namespace
3. Enhanced features: any(), all(), find_any(), enumerate(), take(), skip()
4. Advanced combinators: flat_map(), zip(), partition(), position_any()
5. Chunked processing: par_chunks(), par_windows()
6. Built-in telemetry and deterministic execution modes
7. Priority scheduling and backpressure control
