It is available for download at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parallel/ This is a major release as the --pipe option introduces a new way to work. To learn about --pipe see the example section for uses of --pipe. But rest assured: No old functionality is changed. New in this release: * --pipe splits piped data into blocks. Each block is piped to a program for processing. The piping and the programs will be run in parallel. Useful if the data you want to process is data for a program and not arguments. * --blocksize sets the blocksize in bytes for --pipe. The blocksize is approximate. It can deviate as much as the size of one record. Default is 1M. * --recstart sets the string matching the start of a record. Default is "". * --recend sets the string matching the end of a record. Default is '\n'. To specify none use --recend "". If both --recstart and --recend are set, the end of a record must be followed immediately by a start of a record. This is useful if either recend or recstart can occur in the middle of a record. * --output-as-files will put the output of the programs into files and instead of giving the output GNU Parallel will output the name of these files. * -N set the number of records to read. If used with --blocksize the block read will at most be --blocksize. * GNU Parallel is now on ohloh.net. Thanks to Wim Muskee. https://www.ohloh.net/p/gnu-parallel * Advanced recursive example. Thanks to Ruarí Ødegaard. http://my.opera.com/ruario/blog/2011/01/24/editing-debian-packages-more-fun-with-gnu * Bug fixes and man page updates. = About GNU Parallel = GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. 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.
