for stuff in things
do
sem -j+0 ( something
  with
  stuff )
done
sem --wait

This will use semaphores, parallelizing as many iterations as the number of available cores (-j +0 means you will parallelize N+0 jobs, where N is the number of available cores).

sem --wait tells to wait until all the iterations in the for loop have terminated execution before executing the successive lines of code.

Note: you will need "parallel" from the GNU parallel project (sudo apt-get install parallel).
