If you had walked through the tutorial, you would have read this:

  By default --jobs is the same as the number of CPU cores.

So I will encourage you to:

* walk through the tutorial
* watch the intro videos
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL284C9FF2488BC6D1
* read the EXAMPLE section in the man page

Spending a couple of hours on that now will most likely save you time
later, as you will be able to use GNU Parallel much more efficiently
and you will discover more tasks that you can do faster with GNU
Parallel.
