Compiler Racing
From the makers of InspIRCd.
Ladies And Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!
Just for kicks, we've been trying to make InspIRCd compile faster and faster, not by altering the makefiles, but by trying to find faster and faster boxes to compile it on.
If you can beat any of our records listed here, then please get in touch with us on IRC, or update this page with your stats. You must compile InspIRCd from clean, using SVN trunk, with both SSL modules enabled. The time of the compilation step only ('make') and not the install step ('make install') should be timed. Also, don't worry about being too scientific -- this is just for a laugh and there is no 'prize'.
Current 'world record' time
- 12 seconds (Cell Broadband Engine)
Other interesting (short, or long) compile times
- 1 Minute 7 Seconds on a dual xeon 3.0ghz with hyperthreading enabled, 2Gb RAM (Linux)
- 4 Minutes, 13 Secons on a Pentium 4 2.79GHz with Hyper Threading enabled, 512MB DDR2 RAM (Fedora 7)
- 35 Minutes, 10 Seconds on a Pentium 1, 133Mhz with 32Mb ram (FreeBSD)
