I tried using dmake in distributed mode across several systems using a NFS shared workspace and found the performance was poor when compared to dmake in parallel mode in a workspace on a local file-system. From what I can tell there's a ton of I/O going on during a ON workspace build and using local file access makes a huge difference in build time. How would a grid build deal with this? -- Will Fiveash Sun Microsystems Inc.
