## Smart Adaptive Parallel Execution: Dynamic Concurrency Management for Efficient Async Processing
1880-
1881-
Linked issue: <https://github.com/stdlib-js/google-summer-of-code/issues/104>

### Idea
1884-
1885-
Managing parallel execution efficiently in large-scale applications is a challenge. Traditional async utilities like async.parallel and Promise.all execute a fixed number of tasks in parallel, which can lead to system overload or underutilization of available resources.
1886-
1887-
This project aims to introduce Smart Adaptive Parallel Execution, an asynchronous utility for stdlib that dynamically adjusts concurrency levels based on real-time CPU and memory usage. The goal is to ensure optimal performance by scaling the number of concurrent tasks up or down depending on system load.
1888-
1889-
This adaptive approach is particularly useful for large-scale data processing, high-performance computing, and server-side applications, where maintaining an optimal balance between performance and resource consumption is critical.
1890-
1891-
The proposed utility will monitor system resource usage (e.g., via os.loadavg() and os.freemem()) and adjust the execution of async tasks accordingly. Users will be able to define max/min concurrency limits, ensuring tasks run efficiently without overwhelming the system.

### Expected outcomes
1894-
1895-
✅ A new smartParallel API in stdlib that dynamically scales parallel execution.
1896-
✅ Automatic load balancing based on system metrics like CPU and memory usage.
1897-
✅ Customizable concurrency limits to prevent resource exhaustion.
1898-
✅ Efficient task queueing to avoid blocking critical system resources.
1899-
✅ Performance benchmarks and testing to measure efficiency improvements.
1900-
✅ Comprehensive documentation and examples for easy adoption.

### Status
1905-
1906-
Currently, stdlib lacks an adaptive async execution model. Existing async utilities (e.g., async.parallel) run a fixed number of tasks, leading to potential overload or wasted resources. No mechanism exists to automatically scale execution based on system performance.
