The traditional way of getting such sheets is to take some formulas and
replicate then hundreds or thousands of times.  That is not particularly
useful to you as it will tell you that when replicated enough times, the
functions you use take up a lot of time.

Parallelism in a spreadsheet falls naturally at the level of cells: different
cells can, in principle, be computed by different threads as they by and
large are independent.  Actually implementing this will not be easy.
