Questions tagged [process-management]

Process management is the ensemble of activities of planning and monitoring the performance of a process. The term usually refers to the management of business processes and manufacturing processes. Business process management (BPM) and business process reengineering are interrelated, but not identical.

Process management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, techniques and systems to define, visualize, measure, control, report and improve processes with the goal to meet customer requirements profitably. It can be differentiated from program management in that program management is concerned with managing a group of inter-dependent projects. But from another viewpoint, process management includes program management. In project management, process management is the use of a repeatable process to improve the outcome of the project.

Is there a parallel make system that is smart enough to intelligently respond to low-memory/swapping conditions?

I'm a big fan of speeding up my builds using "make -j8" (replacing 8 with whatever my current computer's number of cores is, of course), and compiling N files in parallel is usually very effective at reducing compile times... unless some of the…
