The XGE Interfaces Extension Package
The XGE (Xoreax Grid Engine) Interfaces extension package allows use of IncrediBuild's distribution technology to distribute processes
managed by build tools (make variants, SCons, JAM and others), scripts and custom applications. Virtually any potentially distributable MS Windows-based
process can be accelerated through the technology. Thanks to XGE Virtualization technology, all remotely performed
tasks fully emulate the initiating machine's environment and file system, eliminating the need to copy files or install applications on remote
machines.
Featured Interfaces
The XGE Interfaces extension package features three distribution interfaces:
- Automatic Interception Interface - Use this interface to
automatically distribute processes spawned by build tools (e.g. make variants, SCons, JAM) and applications supporting
Local Parallel Task Execution.
- Submission Interface - Use this interface to directly submit
distributable tasks to the Grid Engine from scripts and applications.
- XML Interface – Use this interface to distribute a complex process defined
in XML format.
Distributed jobs from all XGE Interfaces can be executed using the xgConsole.exe command line interface.
Distribution of Custom Build Steps, Custom Build Rules and Build Events in MS Visual Studio
The XGE Interfaces extension package also enables distribution of non-compilation tasks in MS Visual Studio projects. Using the
XGE Interfaces package, custom build steps, custom build rules and build events (pre-build, post-build, etc) can be easily
distributed. For more information, see this section.
