A freshly minted ParallelArray whose outermost two dimensions have been collapsed into one.

Examples

// `pa` has shape [2,2]
var pa = new ParallelArray([ [1,2], [3,4] ]);
// `paFlat` has shape [4]
var paFlat = pa.flatten();

// `pa1` has shape [2,2,2]
var pa1 = new ParallelArray([ [ [1, 1], [2, 2] ], [ [3, 3], [4, 4] ] ]);
// `pa1Flat` has shape [4,2]; its first element is [1, 1]
var pa1Flat = pa1.flatten();
