For instance: I have a program that is made in several C++ files: file_a.C file_b.C file_c.C The normal behaviour of make is to launch a gcc (compiler) process at a time If I run make -j 2 then make will have 2 active gcc process running until completition. Note that this this 2 "active process " are not the same each time...
