Mesa is shared memory OpenMP parallel.

During compile time the parallel option is switched on by default. See  
for example

FCopenmp = -openmp -threads

in utils/makefile_header.


At runtime the environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS is providing the  
number of threads that the OpenMP application can use. For example, add

  export OMP_NUM_THREADS=4

to you .bashrc if you run on a quad-core machine and want to use all  
cores.
