Title says it all. What is the easiest way to try parallel loops?

I believe @Max builds the parallel branch from the ARG here [GitHub - reznikmm/GNAT-FSF-builds: Builds of the GNAT Ada compiler from FSF GCC releases · GitHub](https://github.com/reznikmm/GNAT-FSF-builds) I will let him correct me if I am wrong. I would like to see @sttaft and co. try to upstream parallel to GCC v17 if possible 🙂

Best regards,  
Fer

And if you would start “playing” with the new parallel features, remember “the Ada User Awards committee has nominated for an award the task of making the new implementation of the Ada 2022 parallel features (parallel loop and parallel block) more readily available, with examples and benchmarks to demonstrate its use and performance.” Quoted from, and more information at, [Packaging and Examples for the Ada 2022 Parallel features implementation](https://forum.ada-lang.io/t/packaging-and-examples-for-the-ada-2022-parallel-features-implementation/4526).
