title: Parallel computing in Julia - running a simple for-loop on multiple cores
body: <p>For starters, I have to say I'm completely new to parallel computing (and know close to nothing about computer science), so my understanding of what things like "workers" or "processes" actually are is very limited. I do however have a question about running a simple for-loop that presumably has no dependencies between the iterations in parallel.</p>
  
  <p>Let's say I wanted to do the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>for N in 1:5:20
      println("The N of this iteration in $N")
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I simply wanted these messages to appear on screen and the order of appearance didn't matter, how could one achieve this in Julia 0.6, and for future reference in Julia 0.7 (and therefore 1.0)?</p>
