Likewise --thread option, this would increase CPU mem usage, so could you separately add the example command with --thread and --parallel?

I'd suggest not exporting this env, it affects nvcc globally.

Previous Behaviour: extensions are built in series, despite the fact that multiple files in the same extension are compiled in parallel
This pull request adds support for parallel building of multiple extensions. Benchmark results show:
