+GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using
+one or more computers. A job is 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.

+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.
-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.
