GNU Parallel is useful for running multiple processes over an input list, similar to xargs.
Usage
parallel tutorial
-j
lets you manually specify the number of parallel jobs.
- By default this is the number of CPU cores.
- You may want to decrease this to reduce memory usage or increase it if you're not CPU bound.
- Progress
--progress
shows some progress information
--bar
shows a progress bar
Replacement strings
Parallel includes a handful of default replacement strings:
--rpl '{} '
--rpl '{#} $_=$job->seq()'
--rpl '{%} $_=$job->slot()'
--rpl '{/} s:.*/::'
--rpl '{//} $Global::use{"File::Basename"} ||=
eval "use File::Basename; 1;"; $_ = dirname($_);'
--rpl '{/.} s:.*/::; s:\.[^/.]+$::;'
--rpl '{.} s:\.[^/.]+$::'
- Parent dirname
--rpl '{//} s:.*/(.*)/[^/]*:\1:;'
