We're a bit "short" on the current CompileFarm machines, we have 5x16GB + 4x32GB (and as shown below it tends to be used, I have to ping users from time to time to get GB back :).
There is enough cpu power in the farm to build and check a version for each commit (all languages including Ada) on up to two branches (I sent a message a while ago about that) with a latency of about 8 hours IIRC. We might be able to store only part of the compiler, or if this proves really useful, I could just add a storage unit to the farm with cheap & large current generation disks (machines are unfortunately SCSI based). As announced a few weeks ago, all official releases are already installed on the CompileFarm (/n/b01/guerby/release/X.Y.Z/bin with X.Y.Z in 3.4.6, 4.0.0-4, 4.1.0-2). People interested should follow the procedure to get an account: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm << How to Get Involved ? If you are a GCC developer and want access to the compileFarm for GCC development and testing, or if you are a free software developer wishing to set up automated testing of a piece of free software with the current GCC development version (preferably with a test suite), please send 1. your ssh public key (HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys format) in attachment and not inline in the email and 2. your prefered UNIX login to laurent at guerby dot net. >> Laurent $ df -k /dev/sda1 33554132 27412248 4437392 87% / gcc07:/home 33554144 20245472 11604192 64% /n/07 gcc01:/mnt/disk01-2 35001536 15768736 17454816 48% /n/b01 gcc09:/home 33554144 14700320 17149344 47% /n/09 gcc01:/home 16753440 15679360 223040 99% /n/01 gcc02:/home 16753440 10980064 4922336 70% /n/02 gcc03:/home 16753440 1750912 14151488 12% /n/03 gcc05:/home 16753440 13589376 2313024 86% /n/05 gcc06:/home 16753440 9586272 6316128 61% /n/06 On Mon, 2007-04-16 at 12:00 -0600, Tom Tromey wrote: > I wonder whether there is a role for the gcc compile farm in this? > For instance perhaps "someone" could keep a set of builds there and > provide folks with a simple way to regression-test ... like a shell > script that takes a .i file, ssh's to the farm, and does a reghunt... ? > > I think this would only be worthwhile if the farm has enough disk, and > if regression hunting is a fairly common activity. > > Tom
