Description
Simple demonstration of using a "ParallelLoop" where the simple "for" loop is broken up into chunks and dispatched among various threads in a thread pool.

Contained within this demo is a "work in progress" Parallel.pas file. This contains a thread pool implementation and two ParallelLoop functions. One function takes a method pointer and the other uses an old trick (from the old Turbo Vision days) where you can pass in the address of a nested procedure in order to be returned to the calling scope.

Also contained with this demonstration project is a large selection of .lif files that contain many interesting start up patterns. These are in standard #Life 1.05 format. You can get more information about these files here:

Finally, here is a very good implementation of Life written in Delphi:
