A command-line CPU load balancer written in Rust that recreates and extends GNU Parallel's functionality for executing jobs in parallel. It is significantly faster and more memory-efficient than GNU Parallel in benchmarks.
Use cases
- run shell commands in parallel across cpu cores
- gnu parallel alternative written in rust
- process a large list of files concurrently from the command line
- balance cpu load when executing batch jobs
- pipe input lines to parallel command executions
When to choose
- you want a fast, lightweight MIT-licensed alternative to GNU Parallel
- you need to execute many short jobs in parallel from a shell pipeline
- GNU Parallel's performance or licensing does not fit your workflow
When to avoid
- you need the full, mature feature set of GNU Parallel
- you want an actively maintained tool - this repo has moved to a Redox OS rewrite and the latest release is from 2017
