Reducing overhead

• bprun launches tiff2gif for each file

  • find . -name \*.tif | bprun -f- -Ny tiff2gif
    • bpsh 0 tiff2gif f0.tif
    • bpsh 1 tiff2gif f1.tif
    • bpsh 2 tiff2gif f2.tif
    • ...

• tiff2gif must be moved to slave and compiled by Perl

• Using -l8 reduces overhead launching tiff2gif

  • find . -name \*.tif | bprun -f- -l8 -Ny tiff2gif
    • bpsh 0 tiff2gif f0.tif ... f7.tif
    • bpsh 1 tiff2gif f8.tif ... f15.tif
    • bpsh 2 tiff2gif f16.tif ... f23.tif
    • ...
