# run_in_parallel global and command options
## run_in_parallel global option
The run_in_parallel global option is an array with the following possible values: ['configure', 'install']
It defaults to an empty array []
It can be set in an options file, or overriden by the BEAKER_RUN_IN_PARALLEL environment variable
example:
export BEAKER_RUN_IN_PARALLEL=configure,install
Including 'configure' causes timesync to execute in parallel (if timesync=true for any host)
Including 'install' causes as much of the puppet install to happen in parallel as possible.
## run_in_parallel command option
The run_in_parallel command option is a boolean value, specifying whether to execute each iteration (usually of hosts)
in parallel, or not. The block_on method is the primary method accepting the run_in_parallel command option,
however many methods that call into block_on respect it as well:
- on
- run_block_on
- block_on
- install_puppet_agent_on
- apply_manifest_on
- stop_agent_on
- execute_powershell_script_on
## Using InParallel in your test scripts
In addition to the options, you can use InParallel within your test scripts as well.
Examples:
```ruby
include InParallel
test_name('test_test')
# Example 1
hosts.each_in_parallel{ |host|
# Do something on each host
}
def some_method_call
return "some_method_call"
end
def some_method_call
return "some_other_method_call"
end
# Example 2
# Runs each method within the block in parallel in a forked process
run_in_parallel{
@result = some_method_call
@result_2 = some_other_method_call
}
# results in 'some_method_callsome_other_method_call'
puts @result + @result_2
```
**_Note:_** While you can return a result from a forked process to an instance variable, any values assigned to local variables, or other changes to global state will not persist from the child process to the parent process.
