I guess I screwed up in my original statement about kernel make time on
sequent. The < 3hr is for kernel+utilities(/bin/, /usr/bin, /usr/ucb, /etc
etc) + other extras that sequent has. Phil@sequent pointed this out
and claimed that it takes 2h 17m on a 20 processor NS32032. Kernel (4.2)
build is 12 minutes for sequent and 4.5 mts on Encore (again a 4.2 based
32[0/3]32) - an 18 processor machine (I guess the factor three difference
should be due to differences in kernel functionality and maybe processors)
With a 386 based 30 processor sequent symmetric - Phil is aiming at the 1
minute barrier.
Note:[ Amdahl advertises that it makes it in < 3 mts].
Anybody have figures for other machines with single digit times.
Here are the days of touch *.c *.h;make -DKERNEL;/etc/reboot and
watch Ben Johnson complete a 100 m dash.

Not quite: we're still at 12 minutes elapsed, 5.6 minutes CPU time, on an M/1000, for 4.3BSD + NFS. (.25X of an Amdahl. argh! :-) ) Elapsed time goes up to about 18 minutes for -O, CPU to about 10 minutes. We have some disk tunings under way: my goal is under 10 minutes. P.S. the good trick here is to do it twice on a large-memory system; the 2nd time should be pretty quick. -- -john mashey DISCLAIMER: <generic disclaimer, I speak for me only, etc> UUCP: {decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!decwrl!mips!mash OR mash@mips.com DDD: 408-991-0253 or 408-720-1700, x253 USPS: MIPS Computer Systems, 930 E.
