Re: New home for the perf.haskell.org builder wanted

Hi, Ryan, I saw your hosting offer, thanks a lot! I must have skipped the past suggesting haskell.org funds for a machine and only saw the hosting offer. But an existing unused machine is just fine. Richard, sounds great!. I should not work on in before Monday anyways. No other requirements necessary. Greetings, Joachim Am Freitag, den 11.11.2016, 14:15 -0500 schrieb Richard Eisenberg:

I have an unused machine in my department. It currently has 6GB of memory on it, but memory is cheap enough these days, so this could be expanded if necessary. (Is this necessary?) We would slap a basic Linux on it, give it a hostname (xxx.cs.brynmawr.edu), and then make an account for you, Joachim, to ssh into. Are there other setup requirements?

It's Friday afternoon, so I'm unsure if we could get it done in the next 24 hours, but I would imagine by early next week.

Hi all,

let me bump this request. http://perf.haskell.org/ghc has now stopped producing new results.

It does not have to be a fancy server or anything like that; an unused office machine in some corner would do as well, it has done that so far. (I wonder if I should reactivate my T400s for that. Maybe a slow machine yields more precise measurements. But it is in Germany right now, so I won’t be able to do that before Christmas.)

Greetings, Joachim

although I have moved away from Karlsruhe three months ago, so far it is still my office PC driving https://perf.haskell.org/ghc/

But a new person is now using my desk and wants to use this machine, so I should really really move this away from there now.

Sebastian Graf has been working on turning gipeda, the Frontend perf.haskell.org, into a more general service open to open source Haskell projects, and this is close, but not close enough to simply stop running the performance tests until he is good to go.

He currently has a machine given from haskell.org to run this on, but it is a virtual machine and the measurements are too flaky for real use.

So basically, I need a decent non-virtualized (or virtualized, but exclusive) machine to move my performance build runner to, as quickly as possible. The current specs are  * 8 core Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz   * 16 GB RAM but it does not matter too much, a slightly weaker machine would be able to keep up as well. I also do not necessarily need root access (but it would be beyond the point if the machine would do other stuff that incurs a heavy load).

The same machine could then be used by Sebastian for his more general setup, once that is ready to go.

Does anyone have something handy?

Greetings, Joachim
