unless you run multiple processors, you can't get any speed up of number
crunching code from parallelism. if you do have multiple cpu's then you
could fork procs and use some IPC method to coordinate your crunching.
you may want to analyze your program to see if it is cpu or disk bound
as well. if it is disk bound, then parallelism could help even on a
single processor.

i am not clear on your project needs or goal.
