# `bigml-parallel`: A CLI tool for running WhizzML scripts in parallel
This is a tool for parallel processing of BigML resources (typically sources or datasets) using WhizzML scripts. It's still somewhat experimental. To install, download binaries from the [releases page](https://github.com/faradayio/bigml-rs/releases).
This tool will output the resulting BigML execution objects as JSON structs, one per line, in no particular order. It runs up to `--max-tasks` BigML executions at a time.
```txt
Execute WhizzML script in parallel over one or more BigML resources
USAGE:
bigml-parallel [OPTIONS] --script <script>
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-i, --input <inputs>...
Extra inputs to our WhizzML script, specified as "name=value".
These will be parsed as JSON if possible, or treated as strings
otherwise.
-J, --max-tasks <max_tasks>
How many BigML tasks should we use at a time? [default: 2]
-n, --name <name>
The name to use for our execution objects.
-o, --output <outputs>...
Expected outputs to our WhizzML script, specified as "name".
-R, --resource-input-name <resource_input_name>
The input name used to pass the dataset. [default: resource]
-r, --resource <resources>...
The resource IDs to process. (Alternatively, pipe resource IDs on
standard input, one per line.)
-s, --script <script>
The WhizzML script ID to run.
