When to use @parallel vs. pmap

The Julia documentation advises that pmap() is designed for the case where each function call does a large amount of work. In contrast, @parallel for can handle situations where each iteration is tiny, perhaps merely summing two numbers. There are several reasons for this. First, pmap incurs ...
