If you're actually doing the convolution in Python, you need
optimization before you need more CPUs. There's a numerics library
for Python called NumPy, but it doesn't have a convolution function,
although it has an FFT, which may be useful.
But this is just homework. Do something reasonable and turn it
in. A high performance solution to this problem is probably more
work than it's worth.
