  • Rakefile processing
  • Figure our whats required for rakefile parsing
• Rakeserver (Python)
  • Multiprocessing
• C Client (rakeclient-c)
• Report (PDF, 3 A4 pages long) (ideally with diagrams and examples)
  • the protocol you have designed and developed for all communication between your client and server programs
  • a 'walk-through' of the execution sequence employed to compile and link an multi-file program
  • the conditions under which remote compilation and linking appears to perform better (faster) than just using your local machine
