I found that my linux workstation with 12 CPUs had almost stopped to work after I executed a shell script (tcsh) having a for-loop where more than hundreds of loops are executed simultaneously by adding '&' at the end of the command. Is there any way to control the number or executing time for background processes in the for-loop using tcsh?
How to control multithreaded background jobs in for loop in shell script

GNU Parallel is made for this kind of situations.
GNU Parallel is a general parallelizer and makes is easy to run jobs in parallel on the same machine or on multiple machines you have ssh access to.
If you have 32 different jobs you want to run on 4 CPUs, a straight forward way to parallelize is to run 8 jobs on each CPU:
GNU Parallel instead spawns a new process when one finishes - keeping the CPUs active and thus saving time:
Installation
If GNU Parallel is not packaged for your distribution, you can do a personal installation, which does not require root access. It can be done in 10 seconds by doing this:
For other installation options see http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/tree/README
