XGE (Xoreax Grid Engine) is a Grid Computing engine for the Windows operating system developed by Xoreax Software. It is available in a commercial product called IncrediBuild.
Using XGE, processes such as Visual Studio builds, make-based code and data builds, QA scripts, packaging procedures as well as custom scripts and applications can be accelerated.
The cornerstone of XGE is virtual environment technology. XGE virtualization technology guarantees that a computational task will always generate reliable results, regardless of which node is executing that task. This is achieved without having to create and manage system images required by different types of tasks.
Whenever a distributed job is initiated, it is essential that all tasks comprising that job will be executed using the initiating node's environment, file system, registry, etc. For example, a C++ compiler task run on a remote node should always use the initiating node's file system to ensure that the correct copies of source code files are compiled.
