You really own a machine with 64 processors/threads? If not, the parameter you pass to "make" with the "-j" option should not exceed the number of cpus present.
Why not? - if work is somewhat IO-bound, running more jobs than available processors is quite reasonable.
He's doing a "make -j64" and his machine is going to freeze. Unless there's proof that his machine is capable of this large amount of processes, I'm arguing that this is one of the main causes which gets the machine down to the knees.
It's not the CPU-load but lack of memory that'll stop it though. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
