This software helps distribute tasks from input sources to multiple CPUs or devices connected through a network for efficient execution, increasing productivity.
Paexec is a utility that distributes tasks across multiple CPUs or machines in a network. The utility has no limited internal buffers and they are resized automatically as needed. The initial buffer size can be set with the PAEXEC_BUFSIZE environment variable, but it's important to note that it is not the maximum buffer size.
The README provides notes about the non-standard function getopt_long and offers advice on how to build paexec on platforms that do not support getopt_long such as JP-UX and Solaris.
To install paexec, BSD make is required. The user should run bmake and can change the default building options by running env [YOUR_ASSIGNMENTS] bmake as shown in the example section below. The "libmaa" library is also required to build paexec, which is part of the "dict" project.
To build paexec, the user should uncompress the paexec tarball and then CD into the paexec-X-Y-Z directory. They should then run bmake and can optionally run bmake install-dirs and bmake install.
There are many Makefile variables that can be changed during the building and installation process. Paexec's own variables include PREFIX and LIBMAA, while BSD make's variables include BINDIR, MANDIR, BINOWN, BINGRP, MANOWN, and MANGRP.
The user can run various commands to build and install paexec, depending on their specific preferences. The utility requires the non-portable getopt_long(3), which may not be present in all operating systems. If it is absent, the user can build paexec using the provided instructions.
Overall, paexec is a powerful utility that offers a useful way to distribute tasks across a network. Its easy installation process and customizable options make it a great choice for users in need of this functionality.
