Hi.

 

We have a beast of a server, running and AMD Ryzen 9 3950X (16 cores) CPU, a ton of memory and SSD storage.

What is the best config in VMWare ESXi for a PowerBuilder buildserver?

My understanding is that PB is fond of lots of cores and CPU clock frequency?

Right now it's setup with 6 sockets and 4 cores per socket, but it's barely faster to build than my Lenovo ThinkPad T480s laptop.

Compile time is around 1 hr 20 mins now, but it should be a lot faster on this server in my opinion.

Hi Bjarne,

AFAIK PowerBuilder uses only one thread. So the number of cores should be not importand.

FWIW:

Also, compilation (or Full Builds for that matter) are mostly I/O bound. So using SSD HD's or even in memory drives for TEMP files can really speed things up. ;-)
