Hi,
Recently we have moved http://gcov.php.net to a new (and much faster)
server. This allowed us to reduce the time to build all branches to "just" 2
days (compared with almost one week that would take previously).
However I'm still not happy :P The server has 2x2 CPU cores and I would like
to use them :) Currently I can speed-up the make process, because it can be
parallelized (with -j xx). But the major time is still spent with
run-tests.php.
So, what I would like to propose is a multi-threaded version of
run-tests.php. We could spawn x processes (configurable) and one of them
would test y extensions (I think it's better to have each extension's tests
tested serially or they may break, because they may use the same resources:
BDs, files, etc..).
Any comments?
Thanks,
Nuno
