Parallel processing with Unix tools
&gt; parallel --will-cite<p>I <i>love</i> gnu parallel, but that citation thing is a bit of a drag on parallel. You only have to do this once, but I see why you&#x27;d write a blog post to include the flag and not have to discuss the issue.<p>I wish Ole would relax on this. It&#x27;s not really that appropriate to demand that anyone using parallel for academics cite a magazine article. It&#x27;s only appropriate for people doing research in parallel algorithms, and in any case it would make citing easier if there was a journal article to reference.<p>There&#x27;s nothing wrong with asking nicely, and I try to spread the word about gnu parallel. But the heavy handed demand is annoying, even if I only deal with it like once a year.
