Hi Joe, I don't know why I didn't think about this before, but, I ran some tests using my Laptop, Dual Core Centrino 2.0Ghz w/4.GB ram i386 Ubuntu install.
I opened System monitor, and watched the resource usage (HD, Swap, CPU, etc). The base memory starts out at about 450MB used. It peaks at about ==> 1.9GB of RAM <=== and hits 1.2 to 1.4 GB several times during the Cmake build portion but never comes close to using Swap. Both cores peg out at 100% though. This is a long shot, but if your getting into Swap during any portion of the build, that will significantly slow things down. 1GB, in a parallel build, is probably not enough but I'd have to watch the the I/O monitors to be certain. A bigger longshot is heat. Maxing out the Cores will cause the CPU core temps to rise rapidly, especially with Xeon's, there famous for that. If you've never re-thermal pasted the CPU heatsinks, and / or the cooling fans are full of dust, the cores can throttle back to safe limits, often times below 1Ghz levels. Just a thought. 73's Greg, KI7MT On 9/26/2014 21:50, Joe Taylor wrote: > Bill -- > >> AFAIK the JTSDK-QT uses 'cmake --build . --target<target> -- >> -kj<something>' which passes everything after the '--' to the underlying >> make tool, which is 'make' in Linux.
