* Threads of execution support: ImageMagick is thread safe and most
internal algorithms are OpenMP-enabled to take advantage of speed-ups
offered by multicore processor chips.
+ * Distributed pixel cache: offload intermediate pixel storage to one or
+ more remote servers.
* Heterogeneous distributed processing: certain algorithms are
OpenCL-enabled to take advantage of speed-ups offered by executing in
concert across heterogeneous platforms consisting of CPUs, GPUs, and
