gnu-parallel VS edir

You can use GNU Parallel (https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/) to run command-line clients with all of those queries. You can set up the upper limit of simultaneous clients run, and this will automatically handle all possible parallelism.

Some other multi machine options that have worked well for me, well beyond just compilation of C/C++ on multiple machines with multiple cores.

1) set up passwordless, ssh.

and

2) use the gnu parallel. https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/

It requires jq for JSON processing and GNU parallel for concurrent searches in the notebooks.

Since you've got lots of images, you could use GNU Parallel to spread the job across multiple CPUs.
