>> From prior discussions of primes and bash and various, we're having a:
>>
>> Parallel BASH
>> =============
>>
>> Or:
>>
>> How to make use of all of your multiple CPU cores from just one command
>> line or script;
>>
>> Or how to run tasks faster;
>>
>> Or how to get really dizzy trying to follow what's happening! :-)
>>
>> Including, how to find a few primes using bash. Anyone up for concocting
>> the fastest bash script for finding all primes from 2 to 2^32? (As timed
>> on my Atom based netbook.)

> Errrr... That's a bit too big of a number and would make for a very long

>> For expert and novice alike, it all should be good fun!
