Incredibuild has launched a development acceleration platform for automotive developers and DevOps teams. Called Incredibuild for Automotive, it provides acceleration and support for the leading software development tools used in the growing software-defined vehicle (SDV) industry including QNX, AOSP, Yocto, Automotive Grade Linux, Qt, Jenkins, Gitlab, and GitHub Actions.
The company says it built the solution for the historically hardware-centric automotive industry that is experiencing a rapid shift to software-focused technologies, especially with the move toward electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs). It cites research from McKinsey & Company that automakers look to scale these technologies to meet demand and speed time to market for its offering that can increase compute power availability necessary for automotive software teams to speed their development while adhering to the highest safety and security regulations.
“The automotive industry is being driven forward at an incredible pace, and we are right there with them, helping boost software innovation and efficiency to help deliver better and faster,” said Regev Yativ, CRO of Incredibuild. “We appreciate the car industry’s commitment to security, safety, and overall performance and quality, and that’s exactly what our software acceleration platform provides. In today’s economic environment, releasing software faster and more efficiently is key, especially when it comes to ‘software on wheels.’”
Incredibuild already has over a quarter of a million users from 2500 global organizations including many Fortune 100 companies. Headquartered in Tel Aviv, with offices in the U.S., Japan, the UK, and China, the company was founded on the premise that there is time to build and time to release. It believes that the frequency of updates is not just time- and cost-saving—it is an enterprise’s competitive advantage.
The company has created the industry’s leading hybrid acceleration platform for development processes. Its Virtualized Distributed Processing technology recruits CPUs to turn every host into a supercomputer with hundreds of cores. Incredibuild’s powerful distributed processing and unique build caching solutions quicken development cycles and increase the efficiency of every development sprint while accelerating iteration frequency.
Incredibuild for Automotive rapidly accelerates automotive development on-site and in the cloud so development teams can focus on quality, safety, and innovation while meeting key milestones. The solution includes notable features that enhance productivity.
Integrated with the company’s industry-leading virtualized parallel distribution, newly launched patent-pending build-cache technology lets development teams store previous build data, drastically reducing build times and improving performance. Flexible licensing allows for better resource management, resulting in cost and time savings with zero waste.
As a result, consumers will experience quicker updates to advanced driver assistance systems and other real-time operating systems for such functions as smart cockpits. Additionally, by decreasing the amount of hardware required for faster development, the solution is said to reduce the environmental impact of production itself, cutting down on carbon emissions.
The automotive product launch comes on the heels of the company’s debut of Incredibuild10, its most advanced development acceleration platform that works with the world’s leading cloud providers including Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform. Its cloud optimization automatically spins the best mix of on-demand and spot resources up and down, enabling organizations to use smaller and more affordable machines while maintaining optimal performance.
