I can rebuild applications with over a million lines of Ada code in a couple hours using the PC at my desk (about $1200). Most fixes get rebuilt in a few minutes. With that kind of performance, I would be surprised you need to spend the effort to checkpoint the compiler. For an alternative - could you simply build a script that does each step of the build (e.g., run gnatmake -n, compiling the file it indicates, and then check if you need to move to another machine in a loop) using the Condor framework? If each module is not "too big", this would basically give you the same effect. --Mark
