# Distribution

If you don't want to run the Simplygon processing on your local machine you can use distribution to offload the work to another machine. Simplygon support three different distribution methods (Simplygon Grid, Incredibuild and FASTBuild) and you can use distribution in our integrations or directly in the Simplygon API.
Please see Pipeline distribution for more information.

This example shows how to do batch processing using Simplygon Grid.
