Problem: Implementation in SAGE parallel computation of elliptic curve a_p for all p up to some bound

In the abstract the problem of point counting modulo p, for lots of different p, is an "embarassingly parallelize -- just do each p separately. The challenge here is *not* coming up with an algorithm, but figuring out how to implement something very efficient in SAGE that uses the PARI C library. In other words, you should make this session below run nearly n times as fast, on a machine with n cores:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('37a')
sage: time v=E.anlist(10^6, pari_ints=True)
CPU times: user 7.24 s, sys: 0.06 s, total: 7.30 s
Wall time: 12.16

Challenge: On sage.math.washington.edu, make a list of all a_n for n < 10^6 in less than 1 second wall time.

See Thread Safety of the SAGE Libraries for information about PARI thread safety.

MAGMA times, by the way:

sage: magma.version()

sage: F = magma(E)
sage: t = magma.cputime()
sage: time v=F.TracesOfFrobenius(10^6)
sage: magma.cputime(t)
