 Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | * (i also honstly didn't expect to be able to overload the aarch64-linux machine just feeding single build jobs by hand...) | 20:57:10 |
 emily | the default is jobs = cores = nproc | 20:57:20 |
| emily | so as soon as two builds with >80 parallelizable C compiles happen it blows up | 20:57:40 |
| emily | (and it'll try to do 80 builds if it can, so very easy to go over) | 20:57:51 |
 Gaétan Lepage | The current SotA for this kind of use is ver sub-optimal | 20:57:59 |
| emily | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11143 would make this a lot less painful | 20:58:05 |
| emily | since it would stop more build jobs spawning with some common build systems when the load is already too high | 20:58:23 |
| emily | but there's been like 3 PRs adding this to Nix and crickets so far | 20:58:32 |
| emily | (it used to be in stdenv but it got removed because it slowed throughput for Hydra) | 20:58:40 |
| Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | wouldncouldn't we just put that in lix and have the community builders run lix if nix team doesn't hurry up? | 21:01:05 |
| emily | that's not a battle I'm interested in having :P but I have considered posting the patch on the Lix side to get some design feedback | 21:01:53 |
