#9341: Evaluate default CPUs setting for validate -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: | Differential Revisions: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This is a fork off #9315:comment 16. `./validate` runs `-j2` (i.e. CPUS=1). I guess most developers these days have a stronger system that would allow for more cores to be used. This ticket should discuss if this default should changed to something higher, or possibly something dynamic. On Linux, there is the command `nproc`, part of coreutils, for that – is that also provided by our default windows environment? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9341 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
