MParallel

Having the ability to perform tasks simultaneously, in order to increase the efficiency of any approach, can be a valuable tool, regardless of the field of application. The same goes for batch processing, and implementing such capabilities into command-line-based environments can prove quite advantageous.

Tackling the aforementioned tasks, MParallel will offer users a specialized means to run multiple tasks and processes simultaneously, all through a series of pre-defined commands in a CLI deployment. Providing multi-threading support, it will enable users to run several tasks concurrently, therefore maximizing efficiency by deploying the entire CPU’s capacity.

The main working principle behind the app lies in its set of pre-defined commands and syntax, which can be prompted by users in their instance of CLI. However, there are also other ways of inputting these commands.

There is the classic, CLI, colon-delimited method, which will extract the task automatically, the text reading method will produce the said command from a given text file, and lastly, the standard input stream, which relies on pipes when processing outputs from other software.

Last but not least, MParallel comes equipped with a series of options, which can help users achieve their required workflow. The developer was kind enough to include a detailed tutorial here.
