I wonder if it might be possible to get the total time to be under 10 minutes by adding more agents?

Rebecca,

I have a test PR running that splits up CodeQL analysis
and builds to attempt to balance the execution times.

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/4233

GitHub Actions CodeQL:
* Max job time ~21 minutes
* Total Action Time ~31 minutes
Azure Pipelines Builds:
* Max job time ~32 minutes
* Total job time ~36 minutes

This is a reduction of about 6 minutes from other PRs
in recent history, so may be worth checkin in.

There is also a dependency on the total number of agents.
If we have more jobs than agents, them they get queued
up and will not run until another job completes.

Mike

So you want gcc-6 specifically or just an older version instead of
latest?  I could try add a RHEL-8 container (which ships gcc-8).
I'd want the oldest version that we support, so we know when we add
incompatible code.

  From Pedro's reply, it sounds like that'll be gcc 5 once we add
-std=c++11 to tools_def.txt.template.


Well, I've wondered whenever it makes sense to do _less_ stuff in
parallel, to get down the constant overhead (clone repos etc).
Especially with a limit on parallel jobs that could be faster
in the end ...
Maybe a combination? For example one task that I think could do with
being split up to run in parallel is the following:

stuart_ci_build -c .pytool/CISettings.py -p CryptoPkg -t
DEBUG,RELEASE,NO-TARGET,NOOPT -a IA32,X64 TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=VS2019

(from
https://dev.azure.com/tianocore/edk2-ci/_build/results?buildId=85605&view=logs&j=c0929384-5a08-5c0f-b36d-
6f51b6b81732&t=f12d60be-1b97-57a4-b1ea-5aae2f026d4f)


It shows two tasks taking 13 minutes each.
