Hi, I'm pleased to announce that AMD (1) donated two 12-cores Magny-Cours processors running at 1.5 GHz to the GCC Compile Farm project (2) and that FSF France (3) funded the purchase of the rest of the machine, including 64GB of RAM, 2TB of disk and 80 GB of SSD.
The machine, named gcc10, has been running fine for over a month now, about 50 users of the farm have logged in at least once on the machine. Many thanks to the following people and organisation who made this possible: - Sebastian Pop, Christophe Harle and David Harmon of AMD for donating the two processors. - FSF France for approving the funding of the rest of the machine, providing the hosting and doing the paperwork. - Maxence Dunnewind for machine install and maintenance. AMD already donated two years ago two bi-quad core machines (4), gcc16 and gcc17, so let me thank AMD again for the continued support of the farm project as its user base grows, now nearing 200 accounts. Sincerely, Laurent (1) http://www.amd.com/ (2) http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm (3) http://fsffrance.org/ (4) http://gcc.gnu.org/news.html (May 22, 2008)
