## BuildInParallel Task Parameter
`BuildInParallel` is an optional boolean parameter on a [!INCLUDE[vstecmsbuild](../extensibility/internals/includes/vstecmsbuild_md.md)] task. When `BuildInParallel` is set to `true` (its default value), multiple worker processes are generated to build as many projects at the same time as possible. For this to work correctly, the `/maxcpucount` switch must be set to a value greater than 1, and the system must be at least dual-core or have two or more processors.

The following is an example, taken from microsoft.common.targets, about how to set the `BuildInParallel` parameter.
