Turbo Build Accelerator for faster C++ builds
Speed up your c/c++ builds by distributing compilation across your developer workstations and servers.
Turbo boost your builds
About Turbo C++ Build Accelerator
Tired of waiting for your c++ compiler? Improve Developer productivity by using Turbo Build Accelerator to distribute your compilation across all the Developer Workstations and Servers in your network.
-
Leverage all the machines in your Network
Compilation workload is distributed by the Turbo Scheduler to all your machines. No wasted CPU cycles in idle computers. Simply install the Turbo Agent on each participating machine to create your Build Cluster.
-
Seamless integration of your builds within Microsoft Visual Studio
The Turbo integration add-in provides a simple way to utilise Turbo for building your VS Solution. No need to re-tool you Visual Studio Project files. Also supports seamless builds from the command-line using msbuild.exe.
-
Easy installation, straight-forward pricing
Download the installer, and a trial license. Supports installation on a single machine to get started with zero configuration. Add more machines to your build cluster as you wish with simple licensing and prices for each extra CPU Slot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Developer workstations be in the Turbo build cluster ?
Yes. The Turbo Scheduler will be aware of the workload on each machine and will only assign compilations to it if there is capacity. This ensures your developer machines do not get overloaded.
You can also configure the number of CPU Slots on each Agent.
Whats the idea about "CPU slots" ?
Each machine in the build cluster has a Turbo Agent service running. The Agent can execute X parallel compilations, where X is the number of "CPU Slots". For example, if the machine has 4 cores and hyper-threading it will have 8 logical processors. You could assign up to 8 CPU Slots to this Agent.
How do I add more capacity to my build cluster?
A simple process for purchasing more CPU slots on your existing license. The extra CPU Slot price will be pro-rata'd to reflect the time left on your license. A new license will be issued to reflect the new CPU Slot total.
Does Turbo work on Linux ?
At present Turbo is only available on the Windows OS and with Visual Studio Solutions (and Projects).
Do I have to change my Visual Studio Solution files to build them with Turbo ?
The Turbo Visual Studio integration Add-In gives a simple method to select Turbo build support when building the loaded solution. No manual changes required to project files. Unlike some build clusters there is no need to re-tool your build-chain when using Turbo.
Can I still use CMake?
Absolutely. CMake generates Visual Studio Projects and Solutions. Those Solutions can then easily be configured to utilise Turbo for their builds via our VS Add-In.
Can I still build if the Cluster becomes unavailable?
Working from a cafe? Bad wifi? No problem, Turbo will automatically failover to building locally on your developer workstation.
