Sounds good, though I have a question.
Is it transparent, meaning I can just write my code the way I used too 
and it makes the decision for itself to spread the tasks on multiple 
CPU's without me to worry about shared memory, spinlocks, deadlocks and 
out of order inter-depending processing of subtask without heaving 
having so much overhead that it has no performance advantage?

If not, what is the advantage above already present solutions?
