| GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel locally or |
| using remote 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, a |
| list of URLs, or a list of tables. |
| |
| If you use xargs today you will find GNU parallel very easy to use as |
| GNU parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. 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 several |
| jobs in parallel. If you use ppss or pexec you will find GNU parallel |
| will often make the command easier to read. |
