public interface ParallelAlgorithm
extends CloneableSerializable

Interface for algorithms that are parallelized using multithreading. Using multithreading can provide a significant speedup by letting the threads execute in parallel on multi-core or hyperthreaded processors as well as multi-processor, shared-memory systems.
