Usage

Calculating Fibonacci numbers in parallel:

fib_worker = proc do |index| first, second = 0, 1 index.times { first, second = second, first + second } [index, first] end results = [] pool = RactorPool.new(size: 2, worker: fib_worker) { |result| results << result }

25.times { |index| pool << index } pool.shutdown

results.sort_by! { |index, _value| index } results.each { |index, value| puts "fib(#{index}) = #{value}" }

#=> fib(0) = 0 #=> fib(1) = 1 #=> fib(2) = 1 #=> fib(3) = 2 #=> ... #=> fib(21) = 10946 #=> fib(22) = 17711 #=> fib(23) = 28657 #=> fib(24) = 46368
