About:
rust-parallel is a high-performance command-line utility that executes shell commands concurrently using Rust's Tokio asynchronous runtime. It efficiently distributes tasks across available CPU cores, significantly speeding up repetitive operations. The tool provides a simple interface for parallelizing existing command-line workflows without complex scripting.
Key Features:
  • Asynchronous execution via Tokio runtime
  • Automatic CPU core utilization
  • Simple CLI interface compatible with standard commands
  • Ordered or unordered output handling
Use Cases:
  • Batch processing large numbers of files (e.g., image resizing, data transformation)
  • Running parallel test suites or linting operations
  • Bulk network requests or API calls
Alternatives:
  • GNU parallel – More feature-rich but requires separate installation; rust-parallel is a single binary with modern async performance
  • xargs -P – Standard Unix tool for parallelism but with less flexible argument handling and output control
