Compilation and Parallelism
---------------------------

The pyfora runtime performs two kinds of optimization: JIT compilation,
and parallelism.

### JIT Compilation

The JIT compiler is a Python extension that is used to compile the Python code that is executed by the runtime. The JIT compiler is invoked by the runtime whenever it needs to execute a Python function. The JIT compiler is invoked by the runtime whenever
