What is GNU Parallel?
GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more compute nodes. A job can be 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. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel.
To setup required environment variables for Perl with base modules, please use following command:
