Is this parameter available already? If not then when it will be available?

DDG, you need to be using the msbuild executable shipped in the 3.5 Framework (currently beta 1). I set it up on the project I'm currently working on -- it knocked about 3 seconds off of a full build (12 seconds vs. 9 seconds on a low end T2060-based laptop). Not bad -- as we add more modules, I expect this could notch up a bit more.

Rui Rosa Mendes,

Yes, projects within your solution can also be built in parallel when building the solution from the command line. Please note that it will not build in parallel when building from the IDE. You may need to specify /BuildInParallel=true from the command line.

Thanks,

DDG,

This parameter will be available in the next version of .Net framework (Version 3.5). You can also get this version by installing Visual Studio (code name Orcas) beta versions.

Thanks,

Is there any reason why Microsoft is not able to do the compilation of source to obj files in parallel, like GNU make does since years?

I'd consider this the first and easiest step to improve build performance, especially with the rise of multi-core processors.

You mean like with <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb385193.aspx">the /MP compile option</a>?

It even worked in 2005, although it was undocumented and unsupported, and quite possibly buggy.

Try to use codeblocks. It supports parallel build.

How about grid builds?

I'm thinking of >1 MLOC C++ solutions that take hours to build. Many companies end up buying from http://www.xoreax.com

I wonder how difficult it would be to plu-in a more generic grid engine like http://www.digipede.net/

Can you explain why provided sample is much faster without /m switch? (the same happens for a solution I'm trying to build)
