The class execution​::​parallel_policy is an execution policy type used as
a unique type to disambiguate parallel algorithm overloading and indicate that
a parallel algorithm's execution may be parallelized[.](#1.sentence-1)

During the execution of a parallel algorithm with
the execution​::​parallel_policy policy,
if the invocation of an element access function exits via an exception,terminate is invoked ([[except.terminate]](except.terminate "14.6.2 The std​::​terminate function"))[.](#2.sentence-1)
