Last updated on Mar 19, 2024 Incredibuild dramatically accelerates the performance of a full range of compilation tasks and development tools, shortening development time and speeding product delivery. Incredibuild employs a unique distributed computing technology allowing users to easily accelerate code builds, testing and many other time consuming development tasks. Trusted by over 100,000 users at more than 2,000 organizations, Incredibuild is the de-facto standard for build acceleration. Incredibuild for Mac offers solutions for a variety of build systems. Code builds and continuous delivery builds are some examples of processes Incredibuild can speed up.

How does Incredibuild Work?

Incredibuild provides every workstation with the ability to use idle CPU’s within your existing network, as though they reside locally, effectively transforming every workstation to become a super computer with hundreds of cores and gigs of memory. In this manner, highly parallel compilations can be executed much faster by using hundreds of cores instead of only the host’s resources. Incredibuild’s unique technology provides this distribution capabilities in a seamless manner, without the user’s needing to set up anything on the remote hosts besides installation of an Incredibuild Agent. From a user’s point of view, it’s as though all the distributed processes are being executed locally. After the initial setup of Incredibuild on the computers within your network, processes can then be distributed and executed in parallel wherever Incredibuild finds idle processing power available. This has no effect on processes already running on the network, and the users of each computer being used to execute processes can continue using their computers normally, and will not notice any performance changes on their computers. The computer’s regular users wouldn’t even be able to tell that their machine’s idle CPU’s are being used with Incredibuild. In other words, with Incredibuild, your current network setup can turn every workstation into a supercomputer, by using processing power that is already available, but normally would not be harnessed without Incredibuild. If you are a developer, build manager, release manager, DevOps expert, or any other user who would benefit from faster executions and faster build times, we believe our technology would be of invaluable use to you
