+GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel locally or
+using remote computers. 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.
+
+If you use xargs today you will find GNU parallel very easy to use as
+GNU parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write
+loops in shell, you will find GNU parallel may be able to replace most
+of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in
+parallel. If you use ppss or pexec you will find GNU parallel will
+often make the command easier to read.
+
+GNU parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as
+you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it
+possible to use output from GNU parallel as input for other programs.
+
+For each line of input GNU parallel will execute command with the line
+as arguments. If no command is given, the line of input is executed.
+Several lines will be run in parallel. GNU parallel can often be used
+as a substitute for xargs or cat | sh.
