Darktable is geared towards using the GPU whenever possible; the CPU is mostly 
used for "bookkeeping".

While it might theoretically be possible to handle multiple images in 
parallel, it wouldn't get you much (if anything): treating several images in 
parallel on the GPU cannot be faster than treating them sequentially.
In addition, you'd need to have the RAM to deal with multiple images.
