For someone compiling current OpenSolaris kernels, I
was looking at current OpenSolaris build times on
several high-end servers.
Non-clustered single server instance:
1. 32-core test server (2.93 Ghz, eight X7350
quad-core CPUs, 64GB RAM)
2. 8-core Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 Server (1 x 1.4
GHz UltraSPARC T2 8-Core, 64 GB RAM, 64 threads)
The proposed effort was to keep the FULL OpenSolaris
kernel build times <=55 minutes (based on real time
scores) for BOTH architectures (x86-64 and SPARC).
We can now have 'desktop' supercomputers the size of
common household microwave ovens that can fully
compile current OpenSolaris kernels in under one hour.
