 ASE's calculators that write & read files to & from disk must to be modified if they were to be parallelized via Workflow's `generic` calculator. Specifically, each instance of calculator must execute the calculation in a separate folder so processes running in parallel don't attempt to read and write to the same files. Workflow handles the files, as well as creation and clean-up of temporary directories.

-Finally, there is a (currently broken) non-conventional "Basin Hopping" calculator implementation for ORCA.
