Can you provide a recommended blurb you'd like to see in the variable glossary? 40342 2 lpapp 2014-02-13 15:43:41 +0000 I would replicate the PARALLEL_MAKE variable to a certain extent with additional ICECC related notes. For instance, it is not possible to autodetect it like PARALLEL_MAKE in master if I understood correctly. It needs to be set to the estimated participating core numbers * 2 in the network. That is my understanding at least. I do not feel qualified enough to tell more about it comfortably. It is better to ask someone more experienced. 40344 3 lpapp 2014-02-13 15:48:54 +0000 Just so we are clear, that is for the best performance like with the PARALLEL_MAKE option. One can set it to less to utilize less core for sure. The main difference between PARALLEL_MAKE and ICECC_PARALLEL_MAKE is that the former specifies it for local builds, hence local computer. The latter specifies for all the enabled [*] machines on the network. [*] running the iceccd daemon so that participating to the distributed builds. 40346 4 dvhart 2014-02-13 15:53:15 +0000 Perfect, thanks. We need to give some direction to start off the documentation process. This should be sufficient to get it started. 40353 5 srifenbark 2014-02-13 16:50:49 +0000 This is good information to start with. I will get a first draft of it in today for review. Scott 40357 6 srifenbark 2014-02-13 19:33:18 +0000 Hi, Please look at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-ICECC_PARALLEL_MAKE for the first draft of this variable. I made some assumptions to create the description. Thanks, Scott 40368 7 lpapp 2014-02-14 11:26:16 +0000 It looks OK to me, thanks. 40369 8 srifenbark 2014-02-14 13:14:15 +0000 Thanks for the quick review Laszlo. I am marking this RESOLVED and the Doc flag as "done". Scott
