resolution is not uniform, but you can estimate: 4 tiles once around the equator 
-> 90 degrees longitude/tile along the equator. 510 grid points in each 
direction -> about 90/510 ~ a bit more than 1/6 degrees resolution; it is not 
uniform, though

I doubt that you can run it on so few processors; anyway, the number of 
processors probably has to be n*6, so n processors are responsible for each side 
of the cube

distribute the workload over as many processors as makes sense or as you get
