We plan to retire the aarch64 machines gcc113, gcc114, gcc115, and
gcc116 in a few weeks.  These machines are old and have hardware as
well as software problems now (gcc116 already took itself down).

There still will be gcc80, gcc117, gcc118, as well as the brand
spanking new gcc185 for all your aarch64 needs.  But please migrate
off of gcc113..gcc116 soon!

We have a new aarch64 machine, gcc185.  It is a 32-core 3.3GHz Lenovo HR350A running CentOS 8.

Thanks to OSUOSL for the machine and the hosting!

You can connect to the machine at gcc185.fsffrance.org, default SSH port.  Please be aware and mindful of others (do not hog all CPU, all memory, all disk space, etc.)

We are happy to announce the availability of a new MiniMac M1 (with Apple-Silicon arm64 cpu architecture).

The machine is running OS X in a default configuration, please read the login message carefully for guidance.

You can connect over SSH at gcc304.fsffrance.org using custom SSH port 2409.
See https://cfarm.tetaneutral.net/machines/list/ for details.

Disk space on this machine is tight. Please remember to clean up unused build trees before you log out.

Hosting is provided by House Gordon Software Company LTD in Calgary, Canada, many thanks to them!

We are always looking for more machines to expand the farm, don't hesitate to get in touch if you are able to provide (and host) interesting hardware.

We have a new x86 machine available running Debian testing (bullseye), gcc140.

If you need more recent software than what is available on Debian stable, then this new machine should be useful.

It has the same specs as gcc120, gcc121, gcc122 and gcc123: plenty of CPU cores, RAM and disk space.  See https://cfarm.tetaneutral.net/machines/list/

gcc220, our physical OpenBSD server, suffered a hardware failure several months ago.

Thanks to the commitment of our host openbsd.amsterdam, the machine is now back online with new hardware!  All SSH keys have been reinstalled, but any data that had been present on the old host has been lost.

Due to a large electrical maintainance, the OpenCompute machines at OSUOSL will be shut down and unavailable for most of the day on July 18th.

Date: July 18th, from 12:00 UTC to around 20:00 UTC

Affected machines: all OpenCompute machines, that is: gcc120, gcc121, gcc122, gcc123 for the public part.

A new SPARC64 machine running Debian is available. It has a relatively old T3 processor, but provides 32 CPU cores and 256 threads.

It is already possible to login to this new machine with:

ssh username@gcc102.fsffrance.org

Many thanks to ylibc.org for making this machine available!

The Compile Farm AIX 7.2 system (gcc119) will be offline and unavailable on Monday, May 18, to transfer the system to a different partition.  All user files should be available on the new partition when the transfer is complete and the system is restarted.  The system will be transferred back to the original partition at a later time.

We have a new machine in the compile farm: gcc203.  It is a POWER8 system in big-endian mode running Linux, that is, powerpc64-linux.

It runs Debian; it is a 8-cpu partition of a bigger machine (an S822).
That means you shouldn't normally use more than -j32 (and always much less for non-interactive runs, of course).

The Power ISA machines we now have are:

So, clearly, as a workhorse machine you should use gcc135!

The list of machines currently has some of the CPU/core numbers wrong for gcc203; we're working on it, various programs do not know how to handle virtualised systems well.

Enjoy, and please be mindful of others!

Following a 4-months outage period, gcc20 has been brought back online thanks to our host Inria.

We took this opportunity to perform a much-needed upgrade from wheezy to stretch.

User data has been kept through the upgrade, but please use this opportunity to clean up your old data! Currently, 729 GB of disk space is used out of a 825 GB capacity.
