This adds a -jX option to certain packages that are known to
|
||||
behave well for parallel build.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this may overcommit CPU resources depending on the
|
||||
-j level of the main make process, the number of package
|
||||
submake jobs selected below and the number of actual CPUs present.
|
||||
Example: If the main make is passed a -j4 and the submake -j
|
||||
is also set to 4, we may end up with 16 parallel make processes
|
||||
in the worst case.
|
||||
|
||||
You get maximum build performance, if you set the package build
|
||||
jobs to the number of CPUs (cores) available and also start the main
|
||||
make process with -jX, where X is the number of CPUs (cores).
|
||||
However, make sure you have enough RAM available for
|
||||
NR_CPUS to the power of two (NR_CPUS^2) make jobs.
|
||||
behave well for parallel build. By default the package make processes
|
||||
use the main jobserver, in which case this option only takes effect
|
||||
when you add -jX to the make command.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are unsure, select N.
