You don't need await for data (CPU) parallelism. You'd typically use something like https://github.com/rayon-rs/rayon or OpenMP instead.

OpenMP does not handle nested parallelism.

Compute-bound parallelism is not always data parallelism, for example a tree search algorithm would need to spawn/async on each tree nodes.
