I just built a new box with one of AMD's FX-8120 8-core processors and wanted to stress-test it a bit. I installed the Feb 6 amd64 snapshot, checked out a src tree, and had no trouble compiling GENERIC.MP. I tried compiling userland with "make -j8 build" and the box hung. Before I go further in depth with troubleshooting, I'd just like to know if this "should" work properly on good hardware. If it's known not to work, I won't waste my (or the lists') time on figuring out why it's hanging. Also, is there a maximum number of make jobs that should work? I used to run 'make -j4 build" successfully on my previous 4-core system... Thanks for any feedback,
A very good general stress test is a full build of the ports tree. You can build 8 different packages at time. http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#dpb
