Re: For specifying number of processors in GNU parallel

[Shyam Saladi]

from the GNU parallel manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/man.html):

--jobs N

-j N

--max-procs N

-P N

Number of jobslots on each machine. Run up to N jobs in parallel. 0 means as many as possible. Default is 100% which will run one job per CPU core on each machine.

If --semaphore is set, the default is 1 thus making a mutex.

Hi

If I have 8 CPU cores and if I want to specify the specific number of CPU cores to run the parallel command for example 5, is there any on how to do it?
