Distcc is an open-source tool designed to distribute compilation tasks across a network of computers, thereby significantly speeding up the compilation process. Ideal for large codebases and demanding build environments, Distcc works by allowing a primary machine to offload C, C++ (and some other languages') compilation workload to several networked hosts, reducing the local CPU load and compile time.The project's source code and resources are hosted on GitHub, where it continues to be developed and maintained by a community of contributors. Distcc is particularly useful for developers and organizations looking to optimize build times in environments where multiple machines are available.
