		<p>A 
		  <samp class="codeph">parallel_do(<em>first,last,body</em>)</samp> applies a function
		  object body over the half-open interval [<em>first,last</em>). Items may be
		  processed in parallel. Additional work items can be added by body if it has a
		  second argument of type<samp class="codeph"> parallel_do_feeder</samp>. The function
		  terminates when<samp class="codeph"> body(x)</samp> returns for all items x that were in
		  the input sequence or added to it by method 
		  <samp class="codeph">parallel_do_feeder::add</samp>.
		</p>

		<p>The requirements for input iterators are specified in Section 24.1 of
		  the ISO C++ standard. The table below shows the requirements on type Body. 
		</p>

		<p>For example, a unary function object, as defined in Section 20.3 of

		</p>

		<div class="Note"><h3 class="NoteTipHead">
					Caution</h3>
		  <p>Defining both the one-argument and two-argument forms of 
			 <samp class="codeph">operator()</samp> is not permitted.
		  </p>

		</div>
		<div class="Note"><h3 class="NoteTipHead">
					Note</h3>
		  <p>The parallelism in 
			 <samp class="codeph">parallel_do</samp> is not scalable if all of the items come
			 from an input stream that does not have random access. To achieve scaling, do
			 one of the following:
		  </p>

		  <ul type="disc">
			 <li>
				<p>Use random access iterators to specify the input stream. 
				</p>

			 </li>

			 <li>
				<p>Design your algorithm such that the body often adds more than
				  one piece of work.
				</p>

			 </li>

			 <li>
				<p>Use<samp class="codeph"> parallel_for</samp> instead. 
				</p>

			 </li>

		  </ul>

		</div>
		<p>To achieve speedup, the grainsize of 
		  <samp class="codeph">B::operator()</samp> needs to be on the order of at least
		  ~100,000 clock cycles. Otherwise, the internal overheads of 
		  <samp class="codeph">parallel_do</samp> swamp the useful work.
		</p>

		<p>The algorithm can be passed a 
		  <samp class="codeph">task_group_context</samp> object so that its tasks are
		  executed in this group. By default the algorithm is executed in a bound group
		  of its own.
		</p>

		<p><strong>Example</strong>
		</p>

		<p>The following code sketches a body with the
		  two-argument form of 
		  <samp class="codeph">operator(</samp>).
		</p>

		<pre>struct MyBody {
    void operator()(item_t item, 
                    parallel_do_feeder&lt;item_t&gt;&amp; feeder ) {
        for each new piece of work implied by item do {
            item_t new_item = initializer;
            feeder.add(new_item);
        }
    } 
};
