pueue-parallel: Set the maximum number of tasks allowed to run in parallel, in the default group.
$ pueue parallel ${max_number_of_parallel_tasks}
try on your machine

The command "pueue parallel ${max_number_of_parallel_tasks}" is using the Pueue tool to execute tasks in parallel, specifying the maximum number of tasks that can be run at the same time (${max_number_of_parallel_tasks}).

Pueue is a command-line task management tool that allows you to queue up tasks and execute them one by one or in parallel. The "pueue parallel" command specifically enables parallel execution of tasks.

The "${max_number_of_parallel_tasks}" variable represents the maximum number of tasks that can run concurrently. By setting this value, you control the degree of parallelism in task execution.

For example, if you set "${max_number_of_parallel_tasks}" as 4, Pueue will execute up to 4 tasks simultaneously. As soon as any tasks finish, Pueue will replace them with new tasks from the queue, maintaining the maximum number of parallel tasks.

This command is useful when you have a large number of tasks that can be executed independently, and you want to optimize the execution time by running multiple tasks in parallel.
