A script to set the thread number of OpenBLAS (if used). 
Some modules (such as Numpy, Scipy, sklearn) using OpenBLAS perform parallel 
computation automatically, which causes conflict when other paralleling modules 
such as multiprossing.Pool, highly increase the computing time. By setting 
thread to 1, OpenBLAS is forced to use single thread/CPU, thus this conflict 
can be avoided.
-e.g:
    with num_threads(8):
    np.dot(x, y)
