    .SYNOPSIS
        Function to control parallel processing using runspaces

    .DESCRIPTION
        Function to control parallel processing using runspaces

            Note that each runspace will not have access to variables and commands loaded in your session or in other runspaces by default.  
            This behaviour can be changed with parameters.

    .PARAMETER ScriptFile
        File to run against all input objects.  Must include parameter to take in the input object, or use $args.  Optionally, include parameter to take in parameter.  Example: C:\script.ps1

    .PARAMETER ScriptBlock
        Scriptblock to run against all computers.

        You may use $Using:<Variable> language in PowerShell 3 and later.
        
            The parameter block is added for you, allowing behaviour similar to foreach-object:
                Refer to the input object as $_.
                Refer to the parameter parameter as $parameter

    .PARAMETER InputObject
        Run script against these specified objects.

    .PARAMETER Parameter
        This object is passed to every script block.  You can use it to pass information to the script block; for example, the path to a logging folder
        
            Reference this object as $parameter if using the scriptblock parameterset.

    .PARAMETER ImportVariables
        If specified, get user session variables and add them to the initial session state

    .PARAMETER ImportModules
        If specified, get loaded modules and pssnapins, add them to the initial session state

    .PARAMETER Throttle
        Maximum number of threads to run at a single time.

    .PARAMETER SleepTimer
        Milliseconds to sleep after checking for completed runspaces and in a few other spots.  I would not recommend dropping below 200 or increasing above 500

    .PARAMETER RunspaceTimeout
        Maximum time in seconds a single thread can run.  If execution of your code takes longer than this, it is disposed.  Default: 0 (seconds)

        WARNING:  Using this parameter requires that maxQueue be set to throttle (it will be by default) for accurate timing.  Details here:
        http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Run-Parallel-Parallel-377fd430

    .PARAMETER NoCloseOnTimeout
		Do not dispose of timed out tasks or attempt to close the runspace if threads have timed out. This will prevent the script from hanging in certain situations where threads become non-responsive, at the expense of leaking memory within the PowerShell host.

    .PARAMETER MaxQueue
        Maximum number of powershell instances to add to runspace pool.  If this is higher than $throttle, $timeout will be inaccurate
        
        If this is equal or less than throttle, there will be a performance impact

        The default value is $throttle times 3, if $runspaceTimeout is not specified
        The default value is $throttle, if $runspaceTimeout is specified

    .PARAMETER LogFile
        Path to a file where we can log results, including run time for each thread, whether it completes, completes with errors, or times out.

	.PARAMETER Quiet
		Disable progress bar.

    .EXAMPLE
        Each example uses Test-ForPacs.ps1 which includes the following code:
            param($computer)

            if(test-connection $computer -count 1 -quiet -BufferSize 16){
                $object = [pscustomobject] @{
                    Computer=$computer;
                    Available=1;
                    Kodak=$(
                        if((test-path "\\$computer\c$\users\public\desktop\Kodak Direct View Pacs.url") -or (test-path "\\$computer\c$\documents and settings\all users

        \desktop\Kodak Direct View Pacs.url") ){"1"}else{"0"}
                    )
                }
            }
            else{
                $object = [pscustomobject] @{
                    Computer=$computer;
                    Available=0;
                    Kodak="NA"
                }
            }

            $object

    .EXAMPLE
        Invoke-Parallel -scriptfile C:\public\Test-ForPacs.ps1 -inputobject $(get-content C:\pcs.txt) -runspaceTimeout 10 -throttle 10

            Pulls list of PCs from C:\pcs.txt,
            Runs Test-ForPacs against each
            If any query takes longer than 10 seconds, it is disposed
            Only run 10 threads at a time

    .EXAMPLE
        Invoke-Parallel -scriptfile C:\public\Test-ForPacs.ps1 -inputobject c-is-ts-91, c-is-ts-95

            Runs against c-is-ts-91, c-is-ts-95 (-computername)
            Runs Test-ForPacs against each

    .EXAMPLE
        $stuff = [pscustomobject] @{
            ContentFile = "windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"
            Logfile = "C:\temp\log.txt"
        }
    
        $computers | Invoke-Parallel -parameter $stuff {
            $contentFile = join-path "\\$_\c$" $parameter.contentfile
            Get-Content $contentFile |
                set-content $parameter.logfile
        }

        This example uses the parameter argument.  This parameter is a single object.  To pass multiple items into the script block, we create a custom object (using a PowerShell v3 language) with properties we want to pass in.

        Inside the script block, $parameter is used to reference this parameter object.  This example sets a content file, gets content from that file, and sets it to a predefined log file.

    .EXAMPLE
        $test = 5
        1..2 | Invoke-Parallel -ImportVariables {$_ * $test}

        Add variables from the current session to the session state.  Without -ImportVariables $Test would not be accessible

    .EXAMPLE
        $test = 5
        1..2 | Invoke-Parallel -ImportVariables {$_ * $Using:test}

        Reference a variable from the current session with the $Using:<Variable> syntax.  Requires PowerShell 3 or later.

    .FUNCTIONALITY
        PowerShell Language
