 Hi everyone, 
	       Is there any online manuals or documentation on
	       different types of parallel processing .. via 
	       sharing multi-sun's. Since I'm doing a research
	       paper on the subject and I was hoping to find some
	       more information. 
		 from what I understand there can be two types 
		 of parallel processing: via two cpu's working
		 on the same task or two cpu's working on the
		 same program but two different tasks. 

            The basis for my report is I am trying to increase the 
	    preformance of our builds (via make) and I'm hoping doing 
	    parallel makes will help (I already know about pmake but 
	    has anything been published about pmake other then from 
	    the company that makes it??). 

	    Any statistics or information on optimized networks, programs
	    on parallel processing would be greatly appreciated.      

	    Thanks.
