'''
This file implements the code-generator for parallel-vectorize.
ParallelUFunc is the platform independent base class for generating
the thread dispatcher. This thread dispatcher launches threads
that execute the generated function of UFuncCore.
UFuncCore is subclassed to specialize for the input/output types.
The actual workload is invoked inside the function generated by UFuncCore.
UFuncCore also defines a work-stealing mechanism that allows idle threads
to steal works from other threads.
