Case Study: Mainframe accelerates Unreal Engine 5 iteration loops with Incredibuild

Mainframe accelerates iteration loops from 2 hours to 15 minutes with Incredibuild

Incredibuild helped Mainframe, an independent game developer, to overcome their challenge of extremely long Unreal Engine 5 compilation times and the resource constraints of a distributed team across Europe. Their powerful AMD Threadripper workstations were not enough to eliminate bottlenecks and slow iteration cycles.

By connecting its Threadripper cores to the Incredibuild grid, Mainframe harnessed collective processing power and used smart licenses to manage resources flexibly. This solution, which also functioned effectively for remote work, allowed Incredibuild to accelerate the studio's iteration loops dramatically from two hours down to just 15 minutes.
