Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products provide a build system that may automatically adjust to changes in the performance of a build operation. According to some embodiments, a multiplier is determined for a build system. The multiplier may be associated with a performance of the build system. A duration associated with a build operation performed by the build system is adjusted in view of the multiplier.

Claims (34)

1. A method comprising:

determining a multiplier for a build system, the multiplier associated with a performance of the build system, wherein the multiplier comprises a platform multiplier that is associated with an emulation status of the build system, and wherein determining the multiplier comprises executing one or more benchmark programs on the build system;

adjusting, by a processing device, a duration associated with a build operation performed by the build system in view of the multiplier; and

performing the build operation on the build system utilizing the duration.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multiplier further comprises a subsystem multiplier that is associated with one or more subsystems of the build system.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more subsystems of the build system comprise one or more of a processing device subsystem, a memory subsystem, an input/output (I/O) subsystem, and a network subsystem.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

building a software package on the build system; and

after building the software package, executing a test comprising the build operation on the software package.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the build operation comprises a test operation of a software package building on the build system, and

wherein the duration is associated with a start-up or shut-down of a service associated with the test operation or the duration is associated with a timeout duration of the test operation.

6. A system comprising:

a memory; and

a hardware processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device to:

determine a multiplier for a build system, the multiplier associated with a performance of the build system, wherein the multiplier comprises a platform multiplier that is associated with an emulation status of the build system, and wherein to determine the multiplier the processing device is to execute one or more benchmark programs on the build system;

adjust, by the processing device, a duration associated with a build operation performed by the build system in view of the multiplier; and

perform the build operation on the build system utilizing the duration.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the multiplier further comprises a subsystem multiplier that is associated with one or more subsystems of the build system.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more subsystems of the build system comprise one or more of a processing device subsystem, a memory subsystem, an input/output (I/O) subsystem, and a network subsystem.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the processing device is further to:

build a software package on the build system; and

after building the software package, execute a test comprising the build operation on the software package.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the build operation comprises a test operation of a software package building on the build system, and

wherein the duration is associated with a start-up or shut-down of a service associated with the test operation or the duration is associated with a timeout duration of the test operation.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

determine a multiplier for a build system, the multiplier associated with a performance of the build system, wherein the multiplier comprises a platform multiplier that is associated with an emulation status of the build system, and wherein to determine the multiplier the processing device is to execute one or more benchmark programs on the build system;

adjust, by the processing device, a duration associated with a build operation performed by the build system in view of the multiplier; and

perform the build operation on the build system utilizing the duration.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the multiplier further comprises a subsystem multiplier that is associated with one or more subsystems of the build system.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the processing device is further to:

build a software package on the build system; and

after building the software package, execute a test comprising the build operation on the software package.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the build operation comprises a test operation of a software package building on the build system, and

wherein the duration is associated with a start-up or shut-down of a service associated with the test operation or the duration is associated with a timeout duration of the test operation.
