No. It does what it says in the man page:
--retries n
If a job fails, retry it on another computer. Do
this n times. If there are fewer than n computers
in --sshlogin GNU parallel will re-use the
computers. This is useful if some jobs fail for no
apparent reason (such as network failure).
Why do you think it would do something else than what it says in the man page?
