In time, it may. It would take someone to engineer up a new release of dejagnu. QMTest might as well, you could check there if you wanted.
Yea, generally, I split into 12 groups and run n+2 tests. Works well on 2, 4, 6 and 8 core machines. I will note, that for gcc, it is beneficial to resplit the work for more efficient use. If there were a command line tool for bin packing... I might have contributed changes to do this. If someone has a pointer to a tool... I'd be interested.

Ok.
