From 5c5fc7bcd221427d34bbac80c9bad315fb6de4df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trevor Gamblin Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2021 10:03:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] config.json: set max load in PARALLEL_MAKE Add "-l 52" to PARALLEL_MAKE in config.json to limit Make and Ninja builds based on the detected system load. With this option added, if either tool has at least one job running and detects that the system load exceeds the given value, it will wait until either the system load average drops below that limit, or until all other jobs are finished before starting additional jobs. Since most autobuilder machines have 56 cores, this should help keep the system from being overloaded during builds.
