In times four and more cores in a computer are common the target of any software is to benefit as much as possible of this relatively new kind of increase in computation power. So does Visual Studio 2005 (and above) as there exist a build in method to utilize multiple cores in the compilation process of C/C++ solutions. Their approach allows the compilation of multiple projects in parallel - as far as project dependencies allow. The Shark Compiler Control extends this approach of Microsoft to also allow the compilation of several C/C++ files within on project in parallel and by this greatly improving the productivity of a developer. No matter if you just working in one big project or in a solution with high dependencies, in both cases Shark Compiler Control can reduce turnaround times. Try it now! As long as its in beta state its usage is free (which ends not before the 30th July 2012). Your feedback is welcome! Features - compatible with Visual Studio 8/9/10 - easy configuration of the number of processes and files used for compiling - compatible with MIDL compiler - commandline compatible - time measurement for compilation process
