问题的背景：我正在尝试编写一个难题解决方案算法，该算法利用多核处理器和并行处理的优势。但是，理想/最简单的解决方案是简单的递归函数。

分解解决方案以同时利用并行处理 和 递归函数的最佳方法是什么？

下面的代码是一种简单的难题解决算法的解决方案（它可以正常工作）。这个例子中的难题很简单-有14个插槽，编号为1-14。每个拼图都有一个唯一的ID，一个告诉您可以在哪里开始和停止的范围（例如6-8表示它
仅
适合6-8插槽）和一个价格。该算法尝试找到使解决方案的价格最大化的解决方案。一个插槽只能容纳1个，并且可以使用空插槽。该解决方案将告诉您使用了哪些部件以及总成本。（为简单起见，还假设必须填充插槽1）。

我尝试将并行性和递归相结合的解决方案是在下面使用的方法：为每个使用插槽1的部件创建一个Task，然后在Task中以递归方式查看其余部件，将它们分配到剩余空间中，同时使成本最大化。这是最好的解决方案（可能不是，这就是为什么我在这里）。如何改善？使用并行/递归解决方案时还有其他好的建议吗？

尽管简单的递归在这里可以很好地工作，但是我正在用一个具有200个插槽和5000个拼图的拼图来描述这种运行方式。

这也是此示例的解决方案：

ID=1 Price=10.0 Range=1-6
ID=12 Price=8.0 Range=9-14
ID=15 Price=3.0 Range=7-8
