If I understand you correctly...
Unfortunately not for all areas of the code it is possible ...
I, in fact, only parallelize loops for "for" operator.
The remaining sections of code where this is possible, I have not

If translate to the use of GCD more significantly - then need to
rewrite a lot of code.

I started doing what I know how and what I can :)
If there is help, examples and comments from others - I'm just glad :)
