Dear Ralf,
a tool to monitor the core i7 cpus is i7z
http://code.google.com/p/i7z/
it worked for me on my last laptop, not yet installed on this one
for my machine I get
fauser@moby:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep "model name"|uniq
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2640M CPU @ 2.80GHz
so it run
quad core i7, at 3GHz (but I ran on battery power, and it may be throttled) with
sbcl 1.0.50.0.debian (that comes as a package with the recent ubuntu 11.10) and
make -j8
real7m58.882s
user18m32.542s
sys 1m6.900s
cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep "model name"|uniq
model name : Intel(R)
Dear Waldek,
in case that helps, here is the build time on my machine:
quad core i7, at 3GHz (but I ran on battery power, and it may be throttled) with
sbcl 1.0.50.0.debian (that comes as a package with the recent ubuntu 11.10) and
make -j8
real7m58.882s
user18m32.542s
sys 1m6.900s
In the past time for full build was a problem, I remember build
times longer than two hours. Given that many things changed
(machnes changed, Lisps changed) I tried to do objective
comparison. For this I compared recent trunk and FriCAS-1.0.0
on my machine (quad core Core 2 2.4 GHz).
The results
I plan to include the following patch to algebra Makefile. This
patch corrects problem that we had for some time: most of algebra
was needlessly recompiled second time, leading to larger build
time.
The reason seem to be pattern rule with two percents inside, which
apparently does not work as I
