parallel

Parallel is a command-line tool for executing jobs in parallel. It allows for efficient execution of multiple tasks simultaneously. It is designed to speed up the execution of tasks by distributing them across multiple processors or cores. Parallel supports parallelizing both single-threaded and multi-threaded executables. It can handle any command that can be invoked from the command line. It provides options for controlling the number of tasks run concurrently, controlling the number of processors utilized, and handling errors and dependencies between tasks. Parallel has a simple syntax that allows users to easily parallelize their commands. It provides progress information, ETA calculations, and different output formats for monitoring the execution of tasks. Parallel is widely used in various fields, including bioinformatics, data processing, system administration, and scientific computing. It is a flexible and powerful tool for efficiently utilizing computing resources and reducing overall job execution time.
