When I was at Causes, we wrote a similar tool called Buffet (https://github.com/causes/buffet, pronounced like the investor) for running test cases in parallel on an arbitrary number of machines; dropped out total build suite time from ~20 minutes on a single machine to 2-3 minutes. We certainly didn't add the level of polish that Kochiku seems to have, though.
