How to run SNPEff jar for a batch of VCF files using GNU parallel tool?

How to run SNPEff jar for a batch of VCF files (300 items) using GNU parallel tool? Need a code example. Found only one example somehow similar to my question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28072857/s-gnu-parallel-execution-of-commands-from-file-few-at-a-time. Thx.

I think you need to use:

GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU parallel can then split the input and pipe it into
commands in parallel.

Nice tutorial can be found:

If you add an example of how you do it without GNU Parallel, then you may have more luck getting a usable answer.
