I'm not creative enough for this, and you can't help me.

Buildworld Benchmark: My New Server

September 19, 2008 in Blog

Well, it’s finally running.  I installed FreeBSD about a week ago, let it run overnight, and the PSU burned (yes, literally burned).  So now that the RMA is done, and it’s up and running I decided to do a little benchmark of it.

This chart shows build times vs. j-levels in FreeBSD when running buildworlds.  The fastest buildworld time observed here is at j-level 3 (n+1 cores) and the fastest time observed was 1473.44 seconds (24.56 minutes).  Pretty quick, but still not a quadcore…

I’ll run another trial with the ULE Scheduler enabled some time if I feel like it… But I don’t suspect I’ll see too large a change.
