I'm not sure whether your work will feature single table restore splitting,
but if it's the case, you could consider having a look at what I've done in
pgloader. The parallel loading work there was asked for by Simon Riggs and
Greg Smith and you could test two different parallel algorithms.
The aim was to have a "simple" testbed allowing PostgreSQL hackers to choose
what to implement in pg_restore, so I still hope it'll get usefull someday :)
