I would like to use make's job scheduleing facility for running a bunch of
similar jobs in parallel, but never more than 10 simultationsly.
So I generated a Makefile like:
all : job1 job2 job3 job4 [...] job100000
.PHONY : job1
job1 :
do_stuff xyzzy
.PHONY : job2
job2 :
do_stuff fubar
.PHONY : job3
job3 :
do_stuff foo
[...]
.PHONY : job100000
job100000 :
do_stuff bar
For 10000 jobs it takes 10 cpu seconds (5 G clock cycles) before starting
job1. But with 100000 jobs make uses 15 cpu minutes (500 G clock cycles).
I agree that the dependency graph is quite large, but it is not at all
complex, so I would guess it has something to do with a datastructure that
is inefficient for large number of dependencies.
