 raitobezarius | I'm planning to connect something like 4 more jobs or slightly more | 18:56:26 |
| raitobezarius | But it won't give us 3.5hr/3 peaks | 18:56:47 |
| raitobezarius | If we had a way to make certain Darwin tests which are extremely slow faster, we could cut | 18:57:02 |
 piegames | can we make Darwin tests non-blocking for merge maybe? :) | 19:34:52 |
| piegames | how many Darwin-specific tests do we have? | 19:35:24 |
| raitobezarius | unit tests mostly? | 19:36:16 |
| raitobezarius | we don't have any integration tests for darwin | 19:36:27 |
| raitobezarius | not a big fan of not making them blocker for merge | 19:36:38 |
| raitobezarius | but happy to drop for example nej | 19:36:44 |
| raitobezarius | * but happy to drop for example nej tests | 19:36:46 |
| raitobezarius | which are notoriously slow | 19:36:49 |
| piegames | I think we should primarily be smarter about our scheduling | 19:40:20 |
| piegames | stuff like making round-robin across chains, build first and last commit first, skip all in-between on failure of both | 19:41:19 |
| raitobezarius | besadii can be extended to support this scheduling | 19:53:30 |
| raitobezarius | it contains hooks for result reporting and starting up builds | 19:53:54 |
| raitobezarius | so it can delay to wait for a chain upload rather than firing up CI jobs immediately | 19:54:03 |
| raitobezarius | and it can cancel many builds in-between if failure occur | 19:54:13 |
| raitobezarius | though my priority queue for CI infra is:
- merge queue
- macOS capacity
- benchmarking infra
| 19:54:34 |
| raitobezarius | I cannot touch besadii for October | 19:54:47 |
| piegames | I agree on the first two, can besadii be put over benchmarking infra? | 19:58:15 |
| raitobezarius | I need to talk with pennae | 20:01:53 |
| raitobezarius | I have been promising the benchmarking infra for a while | 20:02:04 |

 Unhooked Spirits | I assume you're not looking for random community members to contribute hardware, but I do have an aarch64-Darwin machine and (potentially) an x86_64-darwin (if I can get it to power on again), which are just sitting in my server closet[^1]

| raitobezarius | actually, for development purpose, this might be still interesting | 11:16:05 |
| raitobezarius | what are the specs of the aarch64-darwin box? | 11:16:09 |
| Unhooked Spirits | It's a 2023 m3 MacBook Pro. 24GB RAM, I think. I just need to replace the battery before it goes into service. | 11:31:17 |
