Key: MESOS-3161 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3161 Project: Mesos Issue Type: Improvement Components: build, documentation Reporter: Benjamin Mahler
The [gold linker|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_(linker)] seems to provide a decent speedup (about ~20%) on a parallel build. From a quick test: {noformat: title=timings for make check -j24 w/ 24 hyperthreaded cores} gold: real 7m18.526s user 81m21.213s sys 5m17.224s default ld: real 9m7.908s user 85m13.466s sys 5m52.199s {noformat} On CentOS 5 w/ devtoolset-2: {noformat} sudo /usr/sbin/alternatives --altdir /opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/etc/alternatives --admindir /opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/var/lib/alternatives --set ld /opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/usr/bin/ld.gold {noformat} Ideally we could this out on the website, with instructions for each OS. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
