The company claims that development times can be significantly reduced using the tool which runs development processes in a distributed fashion.

The IncrediBuild software uses a proprietary distributed container technology which allows tasks to be processed in parallel on multiple computers in the cloud.

IncrediBuild for Linux and Android supports the most popular Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS.

It will also accelerate multiple Linux distributions running on the same platform.

“We are very excited to be launching IncrediBuild for Linux and to provide Linux and Android developers with the leading development acceleration tools that, until now, have only been available for Windows developers,” said Eyal Maor, CEO of IncrediBuild.

According to the company, up until now Linux and Android developers could only accelerate Make and GCC, two build tools. Now it is possible to accelerate different development tools and applications such as Make variants (GMake, QMake, CMake) Gradle, Scons, WAF, Rake and Ruby.

It also works for testing tools such as GTest, as well as many compilers out-of-the-box, such as gcc, c++, g++, clang, icc, cc1, arm variants, java, javac, cuda, Intel C++ compiler.

The company already has accelerator software for Windows development, but its first Linux tools were announced this week in the US at LinuxCon.
