- fleitz 15y agoHow many build servers are actually constrained by CPU and not IO? If your build times are in excess of a few minutes it's probably better to distribute the build across many machines rather than trying to build one server to rule them all. As for benchmarks there are extensive reviews online of the bulldozer branded as "Opteron". http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_bulldozer_linux&num=2 http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_b...
- unsigner 15y agoIn my experience (game development, hundreds of thousands of LOCs of C++), compiling is purely CPU limited if your HDD isn't utterly braindead (e.g. at or above normal desktop 7200 rpm levels).
- ajross 15y agoBuilds are almost always CPU bound. If you're looking at a large C++ project, overwhelmingly so.
- nossid 15y agoNot a Linux test, but Anandtech built Chromium with VS which should ballpark it. It performed worse than the Phenom II X6 at that. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4955/the-bulldozer-review-amd-fx8150-tested/7 http://www.anandtech.com/show/4955/the-bulldozer-review-amd-...
- caf 15y agoAs an integer-heavy workload, it should do pretty well - provided that your projects are parallel-buildable (eg. make -j works).
