[Developers] parallel processing

[dave fournier]

I think that we should consider open mpi  for parallel processing.  This 
is on the
process level rather than the thread level. It seems to support the 
master -slave model
which is what I used with pvm. In  this example  the master creates a 
number of slaves.
This can be done on one machine or also over a network.

After installin open mpi this compiles with

  mpicxx manager.c -o manager

  mpicxx worker.c -o worker

and runs with

  mpirun -np 1   ./manager
