Research direction

Start by reading the linked ForkUnion project and comparing its performance claims with ndarray's current parallelization approach using Rayon. The investigation is complete when it produces an evidence-based recommendation about whether integration is worthwhile, including enough detail to define a concrete follow-up change.

Description
