It is available for download at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parallel/ New in this release: * --tollef to be switch compatible with Tollef's parallel. This will cause -l to mean --load, and the argument separator will be -- instead of ::: * --gnu will force GNU Parallel to behave like GNU Parallel even if --tollef is set. * Site wide config file: /etc/parallel/config By putting --tollef in the site wide config file you can deinstall Tollef's parallel and install GNU Parallel instead without any change for users or scripts. This is useful for packagers that currently do not distribute GNU Parallel because the command name conflicts with Tollef's parallel. * -L 0 -n 0, and -N 0 implemented. They will read one argument, but insert 0 arguments on the command line. Useful if you just want to run the same command with the same arguments a number of times. * GNU Parallel is now in Fink. Thanks to Jesse Alama. http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/parallel * Opscode Cookbook for Chef.

A job is can be 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. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU Parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel. If you use xargs and tee 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. GNU Parallel 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.
