Possibly wrong word used in the sentence about parallelization that build systems do

AndrewCh opened this issue · comments

In the 1st part where the driver calls a number of compilers to compile source code for 3 languages it says:

The driver ran all the steps sequentially but build systems leverage this translation unit isolation to drastically reduce their wall-time duration. They purposely avoid using the driver to spawn multiple compilers to turn source files into objects in parallel.

It seems to me the intention was:

The driver ran all the steps sequentially but build systems leverage this translation unit isolation to drastically reduce their wall-time duration. They purposely avoid using the driver to spawn multiple compilers to turn source files into objects in parallel.

It was clarified that the sentence below is correct.
