# Objective
Continuation of #16547.
We do not yet have parallel versions of `par_iter_many` and
`par_iter_many_unique`. It is currently very painful to try and use
parallel iteration over entity lists. Even if a list is not long, each
operation might still be very expensive, and worth parallelizing.
Plus, it has been requested several times!
## Solution
Once again, we implement what we lack!
These parallel iterators collect their input entity list into a
`Vec`/`UniqueEntityVec`, then chunk that over the available threads,
inspired by the original `par_iter`.
Since no order guarantee is given to the caller, we could sort the input
list according to `EntityLocation`, but that would likely only be worth
it for very large entity lists.
There is some duplication which could likely be improved, but I'd like
to leave that for a follow-up.
## Testing
The doc tests on `for_each_init` of `QueryParManyIter` and
`QueryParManyUniqueIter`.
