Incredibuild

Incredibuild is a suite of grid computing software developed by Incredibuild LTD. Incredibuild is designed to help accelerate computationally-intensive tasks by distributing them over the network, with applications including compiling source code, building software generally, and other software development related tasks. Jobs can be distributed to several computers over a network, giving both the possibility of accelerating the work by using more resources than were available on the initiating computer alone and potentially freeing local resources for other tasks.
