I want to recursively delete all files that end with
.in
. This is taking a long time, and I have many cores available, so I would like to parallelize this process. From this thread , it looks like it's possible to use xargs
or make
to parallelize find
. Is this application of find possible to parallelize?
Here is my current serial command:
find . -name "*.in" -type f -delete
