Fowler 1985 - A new make tool with support for CPP, dependency generation, compiled makefiles, parallel execution, pathname parsing operators, and a powerful metalanguage for builtin rules.

Holyer and Pehlivan 2000 - Program uses no makefile. It records manually-issued compilation commands the first time round, then rebuilds programs using recorded command traces.

Describes aspects of PURE Project, a small object-oriented portable, universal runtime executive (operating system) for deeply embedded parallel/distributed systems. [ResearchIndex]

Project goal: provide a portable, universal runtime executive for deeply embedded parallel distributed systems. Deeply embedded means systems that have extreme resource constraints in memory, CPU, and power use. [ResearchIndex]

Eumel and successor L3, OSs made by GMD, have been used for 13 and 4 years respectively, for production in business, education. Over 2000 Eumel, 500 L3 have shipped since 1979, 1988. Both rely on persistence, with fault-surviving. Description, links. ...
