Unfortunately, that's not enough to get parallelism. You also need to - 
fvectorise the computation, i.e., everything that comes after $ (but  
not print because that can't be vectorised yet). At the moment, this  
means that you have to split your code in two modules because - 
fvectorise is a module-wide flag. Please take a look at dph/examples/ 
dotp to see how this is done. Sorry that this is so inconvenient at  
the moment but we're working on it!
