But even make will do things sequentially. True parallelization would be like running make in several different terminal windows at the same time.
I encounter this issue a lot with my scientific data analysis. The code that I write could be easily parallelized, if there existed the framework to do so. I repeat the same command for every hour of every data set. Writing this sequentially makes sense, works, and takes the least amount of effort to get the goal accomplished. But if I could leverage this into 12 instances of assigning a core to do each task (such as doing a daily total from 5 minute data over a year), I could truly speed up my productivity without much effort into writing separate applications to handle each month (which is possible as well, but can be a pain in the ass to actually operate, and then you have to compile it 12 times, and when you tweak your program have to recompile 12 times, etc.)
