But when it comes to the multi core geoprocessing itself, there's a wide range of tools equipped for the job. The code patterns I've shared above are on github and are PostGIS focussed - but they can be easily adapted to incorporate R, GRASS, GDAL commands and more into a single parallel pipeline job. Scripting skills are a must.
