Description
Code parallelization should be tested first by a standalone test program. This program should be written in C++, elaborating the best possible implementation of code parallelization. It should be checked whether one can generate a generic C++ class that handles code parallelization.
The test program needs to include a Python interface, so that we can test also code parallelization from within Python (verifying that the GIL does not pose any problem).
Note that we can have several test programs to test several strategies.

I tested OpenMP with some code :
#pragma omp for
for(int i=0;i<m_nb_iter;i++)
{
for(int j=0;i<NB_ITERATIONS_WAIT;i++); // A loop to simulate calculation time
#pragma omp atomic
m_value++
}
I create a python module to test if the multi-threading works with the GIL and it works well.
Without OpenMP : 9 sec
With OpenMP : < 1 sec
To disable it do not write the option "-fopenmp”
To set the number of thread : set the environement variable OMP_NUM_THREADS
