-Run any kind of code in parallel Processes or Threads, to speedup computation by factor #{your_cpus} X.
-
- - Child processes are killed when your main process is killed through Ctrl+c or kill -2
- - Processes/threads are workers, they grab the next piece of work when they finish
+Run any code in parallel Processes(> use all CPUs) or Threads(> speedup blocking operations).  
+Best suited for map-reduce or e.g. parallel downloads/uploads.

 =====
-### Processes
- - Speedup through multiple CPUs
- - Speedup for blocking operations
- - Protects global data
- - Extra memory used

-### Threads
- - Speedup for blocking operations
