| Description: | CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): One application of large-grain parallelism is the use of parallel and distributed compilations by make , running under UNIX.+ The original version of make executes its compilation commands successively. An increase in efficiency may be achieved by a parallel version of make , which tries to execute the compilations simultaneously. A parallel, nondistributed, version of make turns out to be inefficient. The compilations, which are mainly cpu-bound, slow each other down due to degradation of the processor's performance. A solution may be found in the idea of boarding out (part of the) compilations to other processors. This resulted in a study of how to do compilations in a distributed manner. The aspect of having a system of loosely-coupled processors is an important issue in the field of distributed compilations. The relatively high cost of doing transactions (compared to local actions) in a loosely-coupled system makes the use of low-level inter-processor communication (e.g., the execu... |
