1.30 * Fixed the get_number_of_cores function to work with /proc/cpuinfo where
1.31 the "physical id" field is missing.
1.32 + * Changed the Map class to permit incremental access to received results
1.33 + from completed parts of the sequence of inputs, also adding an iteration
1.34 + interface.
1.35 + * Added an example, simple_pmap_iter.py, to demonstrate iteration over maps.
