'Twas brillig, and Kok, Auke-jan H at 28/09/12 20:09 did gyre and gimble: > 1) people should fix 'make' to just allow `-j` without an argument > (seriously, dude ;^) )
Going dangerously off-topic, but two points: If you're using -j I've always gone under the impression you want the value to be #cores+1, not #cores. That way you keep your machine working full tilt. But regardless, why not use "make -l" anyway? This way it's tied to system load which is likely a more prudent method to decide whether or not new make jobs are issued - e.g. if you happen to be running a make process that is io-intensive, you likely want to run less of them, but if you've got a couple jobs one of which is io intensive then some of your cpu cores might be mostly idle... -l should allow you to max things out better. That said I've done precisely zero tests with this logic so all this could be baloney :) Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/ _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
