DESCRIPTION

r.patch.many works in the same way as r.patch, but it divides the input maps up into smaller groups to that the process can take advantage of multi-core CPUs. In a second pass it patches together the intermediate patch maps into the final output map.

It is useful for situations where the number of input maps is very large.

NOTES

Set the workers parameter to match the number of CPUs available.
