()
About this ebook
Build Your Own Distributed Compilation Cluster is a collected volume of my article series of the same name. Throughout the 6 in-depth how-to articles, I’ll take you through the process of building a fully working cross-compilation distributed build system. The canonical example is of building a distributed ARM to X86-64 cross-compilation cluster. This system is also generic enough to apply to most any compilation environment, while remaining powerful enough to outperform all but the most advanced compilation systems. With source code examples provided and easy step by step instructions, this 60+ page instructional eBook is a valuable introductory and practical resource for those interested in distributed compilation, cross compilation, low power computing clusters, and so much more. It’s also one terrific bargain, and an excellent reference.

Introduction
Hello interested readers. My name is Hunter Davis and I run a start-up called Discursive Labs. For the past ten years I’ve been publishing software and hacks on my website www.hunterdavis.com, and in the process I’ve written many instructional guides. During the course of my tenure at Discursive Labs, I ran a series of articles about compilers, low power compilation clusters, and the like. I walked our readers through a full cross-compilation cluster installation, the creation of a distributed make system from scratch, and the headaches and hurdles that come with such an endeavor. It is my intention that those who make it through this book will have gained both a practical knowledge of these systems as well as a valuable roadmap around some of the nastier pitfalls.
Throughout the following 6 how-to articles, I’ll take you through the process of building a fully working cross-compilation distributed build system. This system will be generic enough to apply to most any compilation environment, while remaining powerful enough to outperform all but the most advanced compilation systems. With source code examples provided and easy step by step instructions, this 60+ page instructional eBook is a valuable introductory and practical resource for those interested in distributed compilation, cross compilation, low power computing clusters, and so much more. It’s also one terrific bargain, and an excellent reference.
Cutting Development Costs and Carbon Footprints through Alternative Cluster Architectures
We are all familiar with the standard CPU architectures most enterprise-level developers support. Single- or multi-core 32-bit, and increasingly, 64-bit instruction sets, x86 or high end PPC chipsets. This is all fine and dandy most of the time and covers the most common platforms for an enterprise app. If your software is truly cross-platform, however, there are a world of cost-saving and
