Ask HN: CPU Sharing in a Cluster

Is there a way to share system resources like running `make` across clusters? Say if I've about 20 CPUs from different nodes, can I use all of them while building?

  Interesting. I'll look into that. Just wondering if it's possible for different programming languages like Zig, Go and on?

    For go you would need to change the compiler by a lot. rust may be an option, but the projects i have build had often bottlenecks where one thing in the chain took a long time.

      May be we can step up and look into the way to distributing the process instead of handling it via the language specific compilers?

I've never done it, but bazel came to mind https://bazel.build/basics/distributed-builds https://bazel.build/basics/distributed-builds
