[Bf-committers] Is there a parallel pipeline in blender?

[Ruan Beihong]

Thanks for the reply.
Maybe I didn't put it right. I mean the execution of the tasks in
pipeline goes in similar way as the pipeline in CPU, which always
starts tasks in order, and end it in order but between them tasks run
in parallel. This feature can be put into use when some series of
tasks done in order to more than one piece of data.
I don't know much about OpenMP, but it seems OpenMP doesn't provide
this feature directly, isn't it?
