The Power of Distributed Software Builds

Platform Product Title

Boost developer productivity with automated distributed software builds in a fraction of the time

  • Spend less time waiting, more time developing
  • Reduce cycle times
  • Deliver better quality software
  • Improve time to market
  • Reduce the impact and cost of “bad builds”

Platform Make is a distributed, parallel Make solution that transparently accelerates the software build process. Unlike other distributed make solutions that require modifications to the software build process or suffer from latency or hidden dependency issues, Platform Make is engineered specifically to build software over large-scale distributed environments. Even for large file assemblies, it can tolerate minor timing issues and shared file system latencies to ensure reliable software builds are completed in a fraction of the time, as compare to non-distributed software build environments.

Platform Make is core-aware and will intelligently dispatch commands to both the Make target and multi-core host for maximum efficiency. It exploits the inherent parallelisms in software build process and dispatches portions of the process to multiple hosts for simultaneous execution. Because it provides full compatibility with the popular GNU Make utility, any makefile that works with GNU Make can be used without modification. This means that large software projects that might have taken a full day to build are now completed in a matter of minutes.
