I've also got an AMD phenom 3x, and a 2x, all pretty slow computers. You can always run 2 compile threads per core on the faster machines, although I'm not doing anything fancy like that. If you do a well-parallelized build like the Linux kernel than it doesn't really matter if its a bit asynchronous. > > On 18 July 2012 19:52, shawn <shawnland...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Wed, 2012-07-18 at 15:06 +0300, Αναστασίου Γεώργιος wrote: > > > Hi, > > > These days i am trying to setup distcc in order to improve compiling time > > > for my desktop's gentoo installation.Right now i have 3 servers(all 3 are > > > clients too),all of them use Gentoo,the first desktop is using amd athlon > > > II x4 630(4 cores),the second one is athlon II x2 240(2 cores),and the > > last > > > one is amd e-350(2 cores).This order is from the strongest to the weakest > > > cpu i have in my own. > > > > > > I have done some benchmarks in order to see if it is possible athlon II > > x4 > > > 630 can be helped by the other 2 cpus,but i dont see any improvement... > > > > > > My benchmark was to count the compiling time for (emerge -e > > > binutils)....and the makeopts i used was -j11(5 for localhost,3 for > > athlon > > > ,and 2 for e350). > > > > > > Any my question is,is it possible a weaker machine to help a stronger > > > machine?If yes,then how?? > > > > I use distcc with up to 3 E-350 machines at a time, and it helps > > compilation speeds alot. > > > > > > -- > > -Shawn Landden > > > > > __ > distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ > To unsubscribe or change options: > https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc -- -Shawn Landden __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
