Parallel and Distributed Compilations in Loosely-Coupled Systems - A Case Study
Baalbergen 1986 - Distributing machine specific compilation phases among machines with a distributed make program is about 3.5 times faster.
PGMAKE: A Portable Distributed Make System
Lih and Zadok 1994 - Reports design issues and results of modifying GNU Make to do distributed makes using the Oakridge PVM Parallel Virtual Machine.
Recursive Make Considered Harmful
Miller 1997 - An argument against using recursive make techniques in the presence of cyclic dependencies among project subdirectories.
Recursive vs Non-recursive Makefile Architecture Speed Comparison
Kolpackov 2004 - This document compares recursive and non-recursive build systems (GNU make -j N) for building 277 software files in 15 directories using various combinations of parallelism and hardware. Non-recursive builds are faster.
