Our integration builds (think continuous integration= )=20 currently produce about 200 jars (with more being added every week), = run=20 twice a day, and take ~50 min on the WinNT 4 workstation they're running=20= on. We're moving the integration build to a server so we can build faster,=20 build more, and build more frequently. We're looking at running the = builds=20 on a server running either Solaris 2.8 or Win2K, but we don't have much=20 (any) experience running large Java builds on a high-end machine. My question to ant users out there - what are your experiences running = large=20 builds on either of these two platforms? Does either one seem inherently= =20 better performance-wise for Java builds? Why? Here are the results = from=20 our preliminary testing: Baseline (current) workstation WinNT 4, 512 MB RAM, 750 MHz processor Here are the specs on platforms under consideration: Compaq Proliant 380DL, Generation 2 Win2K, 2GB RAM, Dual 1.2 Ghz processors Sun Netra T1 Solaris 2.8, 1GB RAM, 440 MHz processor Sun E450 Solaris 2.8, 2GB RAM, Quad 480 MHz processors Results of building a test suite on each platform, using JDK 1.3 and = javac: Baseline: 14 min Compaq: 7.5 min Netra T1: 23 min E450: 21 min The dual processors on the Compaq both took about a 58% load during the=20 build, while the processors on both the baseline and Netra T1 took a = 100%=20 load. The E450 showed a single processor taking a 100% load, with no=20 load on the other processors. It was kind of surprising to see both Sun boxes run slower than the = baseline=20 WinNT 4 workstation. That's why I'm looking for advice from others who=20 have experience running large Java builds.
