A quick primer on terminology

concurrent
-> task(s)
-> worker(s)

Defining terms:

• concurrent plugin = an implementation of the concurrent interface, using a specific concurrency mechanism (threads, promises, etc)
• task = a wrapper invocation
• worker = an instance of the underlying concurrency mechanism (thread, promise, etc)

You can:

• set max number of workers
• schedule tasks
• check status of tasks
• gather results of tasks (first, all, any)
• abort tasks
