Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for distributing analysis tasks and attribution tasks. One of the methods includes receiving data representing a plurality of snapshots of a code base, wherein each snapshot comprises source code files, wherein one or more snapshots have a parent snapshot in the code base according to a revision graph of snapshots in the code base. An attribution set is generated from the plurality of snapshots, the attribution set having a target set of attributable snapshots to be attributed and a support set of all parent snapshots of all snapshots in the target set. An attribution task is distributed for the attribution set to a particular worker node of a plurality of worker nodes.
