#' Parallel Random Normal Generation
#'
#' Generate from a normal distribution in parallel.
#'
#' @aliases rthrnorm
#' @param n
#' The number of values to generate
#' @param mean,sd
#' Parameters for normal random variables.
#' @param seed
#' Seed for the random number generation.
#' @param nthreads
#' An optional argument for specifying the number of threads
#' (in the case of OpenMP or TBB backends) that the routine should (at most)
#' use.  Does nothing with a CUDA backend.  See \link{nthreads}.
