Piotr, could you please write some stats of how much time it takes to run box tests on the server when you play with it? From my measurements, it's around 6 minutes now, but maybe you have another result 😂

Our admins suggested to also try with disabled HyperThreading and compare, maybe it will be faster (they will disable HT after I ask them)

[Piotr Krzemiński]

Yes, will check it next week

[Piotr Krzemiński]

just trying it out, but the machine/account has no Java. Do you know how to install it without admin permissions, or if I need to request it?

[SerVB]

Somehow I managed to run the project with user-installed java, AFAIR just downloaded the needed one to ~/.jdks and set JAVA_HOME to it.

If you need one from apt, please say which one.

Yep, feel free to request any software you need

[Piotr Krzemiński]

thanks, right - one can simply download it as a TAR or something 🤦‍♂️ I'm now reusing your JDK 😄 will let you know about box tests timing

[Piotr Krzemiński]

my measurements:
• 6:18 (first run, fetched some extra stuff so it could be longer)
• 5:32
• 5:40
insanely fast 🙂

[SerVB]

Thank you for your measurements! So they are like mine, that's good 🙂

When can I ask our admins to disable hyperthreading to compare? This will require reboot, so the work can be interrupted

[Piotr Krzemiński]

I'm not working on the project at the moment, so I'm fine with any interruptions

[Piotr Krzemiński]

I'm planning to work on it this Friday (tentative)

[SerVB]

FTR, SMT/HT is disabled now, we can compare and decide leave it or not

[Piotr Krzemiński]

8:55, 8:39 - worse

[Piotr Krzemiński]

let's go back to HT 😄
