--- Comment #24 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-13 branch has been updated by Thomas Schwinge <tschwi...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:3840d5ccf750b6a059258be7faa4a3fce85a6fa6 commit r13-7494-g3840d5ccf750b6a059258be7faa4a3fce85a6fa6 Author: Thomas Schwinge <tho...@codesourcery.com> Date: Tue Apr 25 23:53:12 2023 +0200 Support parallel testing in libgomp, part II [PR66005] ..., and enable if 'flock' is available for serializing execution testing. Regarding the default of 19 parallel slots, this turned out to be a local minimum for wall time when testing this on: $ uname -srvi Linux 4.2.0-42-generic #49~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 29 20:22:11 UTC 2016 x86_64 $ grep '^model name' < /proc/cpuinfo | uniq -c 32 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 v3 @ 2.60GHz ... in two configurations: case (a) standard configuration, no offloading configured, case (b) offloading for GCN and nvptx configured but no devices available.

This effectively stalls progress for almost 5 min: quickly other executions test cases queue up on the lock for all parallel slots. That's working as expected; just noting this as it accordingly does skew the wall time numbers.
