Summary : Shell tool for executing jobs in parallel
URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/
License : GPLv3+
Description : GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more
: machines. A job is typically a single command or a small script that has to be
: run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a
: list of hosts, a list of users, or a list of tables.
:
: If you use xargs today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use. If you
: write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to replace most of
: the loops and make them run faster by running jobs in parallel. If you use ppss
: or pexec you will find GNU Parallel will often make the command easier to read.
:
: GNU Parallel also makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you
: would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use
: output from GNU Parallel as input for other programs.
:
: GNU Parallel is command-line-compatible with moreutils' parallel, but offers
: additional features.
