I have an i7, an SSD, and plenty of RAM, and Tensorflow has been compiling for over 80 minutes now. Is there a site where people can report their specs and compile times for popular programs?
I know it still will vary a lot, but it helps to have a ballpark for how long it'll take to compile.
jstpst becomes a bastion of compile times
people from the future will compile tensorflow just for laughs, comparing them to our ancient compile times
vriska is there
"OoooOOOOoo, on my new iPhone 62, Tensorflow compiled in just four minutes!" the future humans will coo.
If there's iphones in the future we're doomed.
you should have been there when we were running gentoo on our athlon xp's in the early 00's "oh you want to try that neat pdf viewer LET'S COMPILE ALL OF QT AND KDE FOR THE NEXT 4 HOURS LOL"
i have thoroughly happy that i very rarely have any need to compile something from source
that said, i dual boot so it's good to be able to give someone an estimate. "yeah i can play games in like 2 hours" vs "yeah i can play in like 3 days"
Someone needed 15 minutes on 28 CPUs. I have 4 CPUs, so I should expect to take around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.
As I was typing that, it finished around the 1 hour 30 minute mark.

for the curious
jeez golly ms molly, that is one complex compiling process.
high performance numerical computation.
no fuckin doubt.
if you think that's bad you should have seen what it was like to compile openoffice in 2005
I had.to do a git bisect on a kernel a while ago for a gub report.
Compile the linux kernel, install it, reboot. Did it work? Then keep doing that. Like seven times.

i haven't tried compiling tensorflow but i'll give it a shot this weekend and let you know
