FASTBuild Description
FASTBuild is an efficient, open-source build system compatible with Windows, Linux, and OS X. It offers robust capabilities for scalable compilation, caching, and network distribution. Whether utilized by major game studios or small indie developers, FASTBuild is actively employed in production environments to create software for a variety of platforms including PC, Mac, Linux, consoles, smartphones, and even retro systems. This powerful tool provides all necessary resources to enhance build speed, achieving improvements that can exceed 10 times compared to traditional build systems. Engineered with a focus on parallel compilation from the outset, FASTBuild's streamlined main build pipeline effectively allocates build tasks to worker threads, optimizing parallel processing. It circumvents the dependency issues often encountered with Visual Studio/MSBuild, ensuring a smoother build experience. Moreover, unlike Visual Studio, FASTBuild can meticulously control CPU core usage during builds, mitigating problems related to idle time and context switching, which ultimately leads to more efficient resource utilization. As a result, developers can expect quicker turnaround times and improved productivity throughout their build processes.
