theGang :: Gang

DPH programs use this single, shared gang of threads. The gang exists at top level, and is initialised at program start.

The vectoriser guarantees that the gang is only used by a single computation at a time. This is true because the program produced by the vector only uses flat parallelism, so parallel computations don't invoke further parallel computations. If the vectorised program tries to use nested parallelism then there is a bug in the vectoriser, and the code will run sequentially.
