RECC

RECC is a command-line utility written in C++ that allows you to use Bazel’s Remote Execution protocol to run individual compiler commands on remote servers.

$ gcc -c hello.c -o hello.o         # Local compile
$ recc gcc -c hello.c -o hello.o    # Remote compile

The tool can automatically find header dependencies for GCC, IBM XL C, and the Oracle Developer Studio C compiler. It also includes a basic implementation of the Remote Workers protocol which you can run on “build worker” machines.

I wrote the initial version of RECC as part of a summer internship at Bloomberg LP. Since then, Bloomberg has continued to develop and improve it.
