However, quite a few programs assume that when working with a local files, read(2) never returns less than what was asked (unless the file is shorter, of course). So, my question is: on Linux, in which cases can read(2) return les...

Is there any software available in linux which compiles a source code containing large number of files parallely on either multicore or distributed systems.
