Newb here. I want to schedule a bunch of tasks > #cores. Let's say I want to run #cores at a time (100% utilization).
If I do
seq 1 1000 | parallel --load 100% blah blah...
What is the load that is being looked at? A 5 minute load average? So at the time I start this 1000 tasks, loadave is 0 (say), will it start all 1000 tasks at once, because loadave is 0 - only to have loadave become 1000? Or does it do something smarter than that?
Thanks,
Neal
