that isn't a terribly useful bug report. does it even distribute anything at all? log files? look at some other issues to get an idea.
beyond that, icecc has some architectural limitations that make it somewhat non-competitive nowadays.
also, it's kind of unmaintained. cf. #586.
that isn't a terribly useful bug report.
Happy to provide any details you (or anyone else) would like. I'm very new to icecc
. So, I don't know what information would be useful. I found the fact that the build takes 5 minutes longer with 28 additional cores quite surprising. So, I figured I'd report what I see as an issue.
does it even distribute anything at all?
Yes it does, based on icecream-sundae
.

Is there something else you would suggest instead?
Thank you, I see that sccache
seems to be the preferred replacement and will look into it.
It is really hard to diagnose these issues at best. I'm not surprized you see things like this as a icecc uses a lot of network bandwidth and often will saturate your network. Your 12 core machine could be limited by disk speed or memory bandwith not cpu - in either case there isn't anything icecc could do for you.
Icecc was designed in days when computers were slower and had one or maybe two cores. the hardware available to most of us is much faster and so icecc often cannot help.

I'm attempting to speed up a long build by moving it to
icecc
. Aren't we all, right?However, the builds appear to be taking longer with
icecc
than without. I'm timing the builds withtime $BUILD_CMD
:with icecc (40 cores, mix and match):
without icecc (12 core, member of the above 40):
The current build systems are a mashup of available hardware I had around but currently total 40 cores, including the original 12 core system timed above.
Any advice or troubleshooting tips would be most appreciated.
