<title>What is a Scan Operation?</title>
<para>A parallel scan task performs the cumulative sum, also known as <emphasis>prefix sum</emphasis> or <emphasis>scan</emphasis>, of the input range and writes the result to the output range. Each element of the output range contains the running total of all earlier elements using the given binary operator for summation.</para>
