GNU Parallel is a shell tool that enables the execution of jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or input from a file containing such things as a list of commands, a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. GNU Parallel can also take information from a piped command.
