Fork-Join parallelism using Signals in APLX

In preparation for some research work I'm doing in parallelism, I finally managed to get some comprehension of tasks and multi-programming in APLX.

I came up with the following code, and I would appreciate any improvements or suggestions. It's fast in the case where you have significant amounts of stenciling to do (I used a multi-pass mean filter/blur stencil on an RGB Image). I managed nearly 100% CPU utilization throughout the computation.
