I remember a discussion of parallel makes a while back, but I didn't
save anything from it (silly me :-).

I'm looking for any code or work that's been done with MIMD-based make
programs.  The makes that I've found source for so far (ucb, gnu)
assume that the OS handles scheduling and load balancing and simply
fork off a number of concurrent compiles.

I'd like to be able to submit a make to a mimd-dm machine, w/o OS
scheduling, however.  I'm interested in writing the code if it doesn't
exist already, so references to papers, tr's and the like are
acceptible.

Thanks...
