Dear All,

I would like to use the Gnu Parallel inside a HPC machine (cluster) with 
several nodes and and a handful of core attached to each of the nodes. 
Up until now I have been using my local machine or a server  with a multiple  
processor core that I can count using  
cat /proc/cpuinfo  | grep "processor" | wc 
and supply this number depending on the intensiveness of the work not to 
slowdown a server  and to free up some processor cores for other users
 parallel --eta -jn
n=is the number of processor core that I want to use.
How is this expanded in a cluster with several nodes and cores. Is the same 
command can be used ? If I and some one else in the cluster ask the same node 
can this parallel be adversely affected in terms of speed.
I am looking forward to hear from you.
Regards,
Yacob
