How to perform CalculiX calculations in parallel 
Nowadays most computers have one socket with several cores, allowing for the calculations to be
performed in a parallel way. In CalculiX one can 
Examples:
- For some reason the function sysconf does not work on your computer
  system and leads to a segmentation fault. You can prevent using the function
  by defining the maximum number of cores explicitly using the NUMBER_OF_CPUS
  environment variable
- You want to perform a thermomechanical calculation, but you are using a
  user defined material subroutine (Sections 8.5 and 8.6) which is not suitable for
  parallelization. You can make maximum use of parallelization (e.g. for the
  calculation of viewfactors) by setting the
  variable OMP_NUM_THREADS to the maximum number of cores on your system, and
  prevent parallelization of the material tangent and stress calculation step by setting
  CCX_NPROC_RESULTS to 1.
