So here are the numbers that you're looking to beat. Benchmark: mm:ss Notes -------------------------------------- GENERICstone 00:42 (1) ELF-worldstone 42:35 (2) ELF-NOAOUT-worldstone 32:01 (2)(3) (1) /usr/src on a single Quantum Atlas II, building GENERIC. (2) /tmp, /usr/src and /usr/obj on a single 650MB MFS filesystem. Splitting /usr/src and /usr/obj onto two separate Atlas IIs increased the ELF-worldstone time by about 4 minutes (async, not using softupdates). (3) there was a CVSup fetch running for some of this. /etc/make.conf had 'CFLAGS+= -O -pipe' enabled, no part of the tree was turned off, all builds were with -j8. Perhaps significantly, mean CPU utilisation was only a little over 200% for both worldstones. Hardware for this exercise was generously loaned to FreeBSD Test Labs by Intel, and software support to make it work came from Tor Egge and Steve Passe, with contributions from other subscribers to the FreeBSD-smp list.
