Different Approaches to Distributed Compilation
Original language description
Source code compiling is a non-trivial task that requires many computing resources. As a software project grows, its build time increases and debugging on a single computer becomes more and more time consuming task. An obvious solution would be a dedicated cluster acting as a build farm, where developers can send their requests. But in most cases, this solution has a very low utilization of available computing resources which makes it very ineffective. Therefore, we have focused on non-dedicated clusters to perform distributed compilation, where we could use users' computers as nodes of a build farm. We compare two different approaches: distcc, which is an open-source program to distribute compilation of C/C++ code between several computers on a network and Clondike, which is a universal peer-to-peer cluster that is being developed at the Czech Technical University in Prague. A very complex task able to test deeply both systems is a compilation of a Linux Kernel with many config option
