Description Ryoichiro Suzuki 2010-12-14 14:10:15 UTC

quoted from the website.

GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel locally or using remote machines. A job is typically 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.
---END---

Especially users with multi cpu/cores machine would be happy to do iterative tasks.



Reproducible: Always

i guess sys-apps or sys-process category would be suitable.

Funny, I wrote a similar ebuild for this same thing and was just about to upload it :). Suggest accepting ~x86 as I have tested. Personally I threw mine into app-shells because of prll...
