Using Multiple Processors to Build Projects - Beta Release

Hi all,

we did a beta release of our next uVision version that accelerates project build by Using Multiple Processor Cores. The version passed all our tests, but the implementation was tricky as it needs to synchronize dependency between output files during the project build.

The UV4.EXE version 5.15.0.9 can be copied to an MDK v5.15 installation and is available as attachment here: http://www.keil.com/support/docs/3570.htm

Any feedback from the community is welcome.

Thanks
Reinhard

  • Does that mean it can accelerate project build in Intel i7/i5/i3 now?

  • Hello Reinhard,

    Is there an update on parallel build for much faster compile time? I am using Keil uVision MDK-ARM v5.20 so presumably I cannot test the version of UV4.EXE that is linked to in your post.

    It would be fantastic if there was a way to specify the number of cores to use for compile under C/C++ options for target build, that works equivalent to how GNU "make" uses -jN to specify N parallel build jobs.

    Would appreciate to hear any update on this.

    Thanks much!
