Like others, I have used parallel to perform parameter sweeps for my
scientific simulation code.  I often use parallel as a poor man's
batch system for collections of MPI jobs when I need to study grid
refinements to verify expected numerical convergence rates.

I also often use parallel instead of bash's for loops.
