The Middleman Project Description

Linux parallel-shell-scripting tools for multi-processor and multi-core systems The Middleman Project, or mdm, aims to create utility programs that unleash the power of multi-processor and multi-core computer systems. It does so by helping you parallelize your shell scripts, Makefiles, or any other program that invoke external programs.BUILDING AND INSTALLING MDMTo build mdm, simply run "make" at the toplevel. This project is simpleenough so that there is no need for autoconf and automake. To install,use "make install" as follows:make install PREFIX=/install/directory/prefixWithout the PREFIX override, "make install" installs mdm to /usr/local.HOW DOES IT WORK?The philosophy behind mdm is that users should benefit from their multi-core systems without making drastic changes to their shell scripts. With mdm, you annotate your scripts to specify which commands might benefit from parallelization, and then you run it under the supervision of the mdm system. At runtime, the mdm system dynamically discovers parallelization opportunities and run the annotated commands in parallel as appropriate. Requirements: · GNU Screen · Ncurses
