New description:
This ticket implements parallelization of basic operations (arithmetics,
contractions) on tensors on free modules of finite rank. The
parallelization is performed by means of Python's module
`multiprocessing`, via the decorator `@parallel`. It is implemented in
computational methods of classes handling tensor components:
`sage.tensor.modules.comp.Components` and
`sage.tensor.modules.comp.CompWithSym`. The user can control the number of
processes involved in the parallelization via the singleton class
`Parallelism`. The latter, introduced in this ticket, is actually generic
and can be used in other parts of Sage.
This work is an extension of #15916, within the
[http://sagemanifolds.obspm.fr/ SageManifolds] project (actually the code
in this ticket is the basis for parallelization in !SageManifolds 0.8).
See the metaticket #18528 for an overview.
