Accelerate Visual Studio C/C++ Builds

IncrediBuild's Visual Studio Agent speeds up Visual Studio builds by distributing C/C++ compilation tasks across machines in the local network, cutting down C/C++ project build time by up to 90%. Fully integrated with the Visual Studio environment, it does not require any changes to source or project files and is effective immediately upon installation.

When used in conjunction with the XGE Interfaces extension package, IncrediBuild also distributes execution of custom build steps, build events and custom build rules in Visual Studio projects.

It is important to note that IncrediBuild does not replace the standard Visual Studio compiler. Instead, it executes the standard compiler in parallel across multiple computers and processors, using the Xoreax Grid Engine (XGE). The compiler is executed in a special Virtual Environment which fully emulates the initiating machine's environment and file system, ensuring that files created on remote machines maintain compatibility with the initiating machine. For more information on XGE's Virtual Environment see this section.

Additional Supported Compilers:

• Compuware DevPartner Studio instrumented C/C++ builds
• Intel C++ Compiler for Windows (versions 7.0-11.1). More information regarding this support is available on Intel's web site.
• MS eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
• MS Xbox 360 XDK

Case Study: LUSAS uses IncrediBuild to complete a 5 hour build in less than 10 minutes.
