drelu/BigJob — Issue #2: Parallelism Option in P* Compute API

```
# Parallelism
'number_of_processes', # Total number of processes to start
'processes_per_host', # Nr of processes per host
'threads_per_process', # Nr of threads to start per process
'total_core_count', # total number of cores requested
'spmd_variation', # Type and startup mechanism
```

This has been a constant source of annoyance and misunderstanding in SAGA. I strongly suggest that this something that we should not adopt from it!
