Re: What do you use GNU Parallel for?

[William Oquendo]

Hi,
I use parallel to run/control/monitor many parametric simulations of granular materials. Let's say I have to explore how a parameter affects another one. It means 20 data points in the final curve. But each data point is a set of 10 simulations which should be averaged. And I need to have 5 curves of that type, so in this example I will have 20x10x5=1000 simulations. I use parallel to control, on several machines, the pre-processing, processing, and post-processing stages for all those simulations. Parallel really helped me to scale up my work. Thanks a lot for this powerful tool.

Best regards / Cordialmente,

William-Fernando Oquendo

I have been invited as a speaker. For my talk I would like to give
people an idea of how diverse the uses of GNU Parallel are.

So please write a few lines about the tasks you use it for -
especially if you have reason to believe you are one of the few doing
that kind of thing. If you want to be anonymous you can write me
directly, but otherwise use the mailing list.
