+# Parallel, resp. distributed computations in Oscar
+
+## Provide simple tools to deploy embarrassingly parallel tasks to workers
+
+The standard julia methods for parallelization do not naturally go well together with 
+Oscar datatypes. The main reason is that the `parent` structure needs to be maintained 
+when communicating between different processes. In this experimental package we aim 
+to providing support for these things in a hopefully convenient way for the user and 
+the programmer.
+
+## Status
+
+This is currently work in progress with no guarantee for long term support. 
+However, if you would like to use it or should you find out that the methods 
+provided here do not fully serve your needs, feel free to reach out to 
+`@antonydellavecchia` and `@HechtiDerLachs`.

+# Parallelization in Oscar
+
+The functionality in the experimental package `Parallel` provides tools to do simple things
+in parallel in Oscar. The main obstruction 
+to using regular functions like `pmap` and friends is that most of the Oscar datatypes 
+have `parent`s which need to be coherent throughout the worker pool and the main process. 
+In order to achieve this, some more information on "type parameters" needs to be send 
+up front when communicating with other processes; see the documentation of the 
+[Oscar serialization](@ref dev_serialization) for details. 
+
+Below we document specialized structs and methods which we overload so as to hopefully 
+have a seamless integration of Oscar data types into `pmap` and other functions. 
+Note that this is non-exhaustive work in progress and the user always remains 
+responsible for serializing any type of object that they want to pass to workers!

+
+Note: The programmers themselves are responsible to deliver `task_id`s which are unique for the respective tasks!
+
+Deploying tasks to the workers continues until `pop_task!(ctx)` returns `nothing`.
