Unfortunately I don't have enough nodes (4) to reproduce all of their test results, but I have seen similar effects with makefile design. A quick, unscientific comparison based on the charts of slide 27 yielded the following results: Apache - 4 nodes 2.5x faster than 1. MySql5 - 4 nodes 2.1x faster than 1. Mozilla requires gmake. So better than distcc, not as good as electric cloud. Ian _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list [email protected]
