bash - Is it possible to distribute STDIN over parallel processes?

Question

Given the following example input on STDIN:

foo
bar bar
baz
===
qux
bla
===
def
zzz yyy

Is it possible to split it on the delimiter (in this case '===') and feed it over stdin to a command running in parallel?

So the example input above would result in 3 parallel processes (for example a command called do.sh) where each instance received a part of the data on STDIN, like this:

do.sh (instance 1) receives this over STDIN:

foo
bar bar
baz

do.sh (instance 2) receives this over STDIN:

qux
bla

do.sh (instance 3) receives this over STDIN:

def
zzz yyy

I suppose something like this is possible using xargs or GNU parallel, but I do not know how.

Answer 1

GNU Parallel can do that from version 20110205.

cat | parallel --pipe --recend '===
' --rrs do_stuff
