Xcode features a technology called Bonjour protocol used by the Share Workgroup Build, which automatically detects computers who has the free software which is the Distributed compilation for faster C/CC++ builds (distcc) and compiler services. It also can distribute the building of source code over numerous computers. Xcode has the ability to build software that can run on an Intel based platform and a PowerPC, which can either be a 32-bit or a 64-bit code. Latest versions also has Dedicated Network Builds, a second system which has better scaling in huge configurations. In projects that needs frameworks in building Java applications and Web services, Xcode uses Apple's WebObjects. But in Xcode version 3.0 WOLips was used, though version 3 still has WebObjects. Xcode also uses iOS SDK in compiling and debugging application for iOS which are running on the ARM processor. As part of OpenSolaris and developed by Sun Microsystems, Xcode uses DTrace, a tracing framework in which GUI instrument tools run atop.
