Hi there,
it seems that the Parma Polyhedra Library (PPL) will be used in GCC 4.4
(see http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Graphite). For this reason, we are working
full time on the release of a new version of the library that provides
all the required functionality. Of course, we would like this release
to be as good as possible. We are especially concerned about portability:
even though we always made a lot of efforts in that direction, we must
admit that all the developers of the PPL work on IA32 or X86_64 machines
running GNU/Linux as shipped from only a couple of distributions.
For this reason, from now to the release of the new version of the PPL
(say, one month from now at the latest) we would like to use some of the
machines of the compile farm (those with an architecture/OS combination
different from our own machines) as build machines
(see http://www.cs.unipr.it/tinderbox/all_trees.panel.html, but note
that some of the linked pages are out of date... e.g., our only alpha
machine died the other day). We can of course adapt to the available
resources: we can run heavier or lighter tests (the machines you see
in the page linked above are running the heaviest tests); we can run
once per day or once every several days. The only things are that:
1) we need at least 2.5GB of disk space to run the simplest tests on
one machine (for the heaviest ones this goes up to 8GB);
2) the build machines should be able to send mail messages to our
server.
Is this feasible?
All the best,
Roberto
