Parallel compiler

Template:Wikify is deprecated. Please use a more specific cleanup template as listed in the documentation.

Parallel compilers are used to speed up the process of compilation on Multi-processor machines. Parallel compilers are developed for supercomputers and other large scale multiprocessor machines. Usually they are not used on workstations with 2-4 processors because scope of speed enhancement is limited. Design of a Parallel compiler could be highly specific to the architechture for which it is being designed. These reasons make it difficult for parallel compilers to find large scale commercial usage.
