First make sure that you actually have 8 logical CPUs in the VM - e.g.,
with "cat /proc/cpuinfo".

If you don't want to start over, OpenMP is a better choice than --fork.
You may then interrupt your non-OpenMP session and --restore it with an
OpenMP-enabled build.

--fork is usually more efficient than OpenMP, though.  OpenMP is quite
sensitive to other load on the system, whereas --fork is not.
