Run Mode
  • Run tools sequentially in current thread: Finish the first tool then start the second tool.
  • Run tools concurrently in multiple threads: each tool start in a single thread.
  • Run tools sequentially in a new single thread: one thread to execute all tools.

Note that option 2 above is only possible if the second tool is *not* dependant on the first tool completing its job first (both tools should be independent of each other).

Another advantage is you can run the tools in multithread for some performance gain.
