Parallel GC uses multiple CPUs:

"On a machine with N processors the parallel collector uses N garbage
collector threads; however, this number can be adjusted with a command
line option (see below). On a host with one processor, the parallel
collector will likely not perform as well as the serial collector
because of the overhead required for parallel execution.... and usually
performs significantly better than the serial collector when more than
two processors are available."
