Does F# provide you automatic parallelism?

Question

By this I meant: when you design your app side effects free, etc, will F# code be automatically distributed across all cores?

Answer 1

Like the others mentioned, F# will not automatically scale across cores and will still require a framework such as the port of ParallelFX that Josh mentioned.

F# is commonly associated with potential for parallel processing because it defaults to objects being immutable, removing the need for locking for many scenarios.
