I haven’t read the full paper, but I think there is a lot of opportunities in parallelizing various shell workloads. Simple things like grep can be split and parallelized on a single system with a ssd. The pain comes back to doing something like combining results. Additionally, commands have so many options they can move between simple to parallelize, to more complicated. I also wonder if the approach should be to build a query planning layer al la pash, or addressing the parallelism in the command itself. I.e their sort example.
