Those containers run in machines that falsely advertise ~64 cores

And we've seen issues with that and nailguns in the past for what are likely the same reasons

I'll cc you on the RB via github

Fwict you're not in the RBCommons people/comitters yet

ok

my understanding was travis containers were ~1.5 cores

possible that their definition of cores includes hyperthreads like aurora et al

Yes - but - at least for the jvm, the number of cores visible was experimentally confirmed at the host machine count

in the past when we hit NG errors

I have never run the test using multiprocessing

I'm running it now, will write result here

The CI for https://rbcommons.com/s/twitter/r/3426 is also a test

ah I see re: false advertising

I'm testing for real here in a sec

I have never investigated, but it could be docker containers (cgroups) does not alter the view of /proc

And these libs all use /proc I think

@jolly-chef-92794: Killing your https://travis-ci.org/pantsbuild/pants/builds/107282178

Already died on this issu in 2 shards

@enough-analyst-54434: That’s fine. I had already clicked the cancel button a few minutes ago, but I guess it didn’t take.

Although Travis-CI killing now appears ineffectual

Yeah - agreed

something wonky there

Same for me

Also I think number of lines here == number of zinc compilers we use

When https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/2890 finally runs (1 shard) we'll see for sure

ok - well 8 is higher than 4

or 9?

thats a weird number

so here is a question - am I wrong or it looks like 8 equal compiles ?

9 I think
