The point here is that I know that the code is thread safe, that is no more
than one thread will try write in position row i col j.
Accondingly performing the assembly in parallel should not required to lock
the insertion operation, am I wrong?
That would be true for a dense matrix, but for a sparse matrix that
can't work (in general) since sometimes values are moved or memory gets
re-allocated.
To repeat it more clearly: An Eigen::SparseMatrix is _not_ inherently
thread-safe (when values are inserted).
