Parallel

parallel allows the user to execute shell scripts or commands in parallel.

Activities

Basic

1. /Execute a command in parallel by ssh/ in MACHINE1 and MACHINE2 using parallel
2. Read stackexchange questions about gnu-parallel: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/gnu-parallel?tab=votes&pagesize=50
3. Install parallel in macOS: brew install parallel can conflict with brew install moreutils
