The cfarm compile farm maintains machines of various architectures and provides SSH access to free software developers, GCC and others (GPL, BSD, MIT, ...).
Once your account application is approved (see the Request an account page), you get full SSH access to all the farm machines, current and future.
For more information about usage, see the wiki page of the project.
The Compile Farm project is happy to announce the immediate availability of cfarm109, an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor aarch64 machine with a 14-core Neoverse V3AE based CPU and Blackwell based GPU. It runs Jetson Linux 38.4 (Ubuntu 24.04, R580 drivers, CUDA 13.0) as of writing. JetPack SDK was installed manually.
Please note the non-standard SSH port, 2109. Standard ports and IPv6 access may be added in the future.
This system-on-module development platform (T5000 with reference carrier board) includes numerous interesting CPU features (compared to the DGX Spark's X925/X725 cores). Of note, this CPU has additional features for memory protection and profiling such as NV/2, RNG, LS64/V, and BRBE. 128GB of LPDDR5X-8533 unified system memory claiming 273 GB/s, and a 1TB PCIe Gen.4 NVMe.
Please be mindful of resources. Another difference is that it runs Linux 6.8 and will be updated less frequently than the DGX Spark machines due to a different target market and update stream.
Thank you to NVIDIA and David Edelsohn for sponsoring this machine, and to Adélie Linux for hosting and maintaining it!
The IBM POWER7 big endian systems, cfarm110 and cfarm111, will be decommissioned to simplify the OSUOSL consolidation and transition. A big-endian partition on a POWER10 system remains available as cfarm121.
The systems will be turned off on Friday, February 27. Please ensure that you copy any data that you wish to preserve from those systems before that date. None of the data on CFarm systems is backed up and none of the data will be recoverable after that date.
The CFarm project wishes to thank IBM for providing the systems and OSUOSL for hosting the systems. When initially contributed, they were some of the most powerful systems in the CFarm. They have been extremely valuable to FOSS community developers for over a decade.
The Compile Farm project is happy to announce the immediate availability of cfarm107 and cfarm108, two identical NVIDIA DGX Spark aarch64 machines based on the Grace Blackwell GB10 graphics processing chip running DGX OS 7 (Ubuntu 24.04, R580 drivers, CUDA 13.0) as of writing.
Please note the non-standard SSH ports, 2107 and 2108, respectively. Standard ports and inbound IPv6 access may be added in the future. (Outbound IPv6 is available).
This system-on-chip development platform features a 20-core heterogeneous big.LITTLE ARM Cortex-X925/A725 package (10 cores each), 128GB of LPDDR5X-8533 unified system memory claiming 273 GB/s, and a 4TB PCIe Gen.5 NVMe.
Users should be able to follow the DGX Spark Playbooks with ease, however 4TB will disappear quickly if we’re not careful to delete old data and avoid hoarding large files. Some features may not be available today.
Please see the cfarm-users mailing list for additional details and discussion about these machines as we work with users to configure them for different workflows.
Thank you to NVIDIA and David Edelsohn for sponsoring these machines, and to Adélie Linux for hosting and maintaining them!
