Have you gotten around to check any performance numbers? |
|
I've found nothing significant on my own devices, I get more variation across runs than across implementations, but I no longer have a significant code base on my usual development path. |
This addresses erlang#2767 by creating a pool mechanism in rebar_parallel that keeps as similar of an interface as possible as the queue mechanism, with the one caveat that it allows the asynchronous creation of tasks rather than requiring them all at start time. The mechanism is not tested super deeply, which is probably a mistake, but I wanted to get a reviewable PR first. The mechanism is also added to the rebar_compiler_dag module to cover use cases that were handled by spawning an unbounded number of processes before, which would cause problem with low file descriptors being allocated and lots of files being used and open in parallel. The pool mechanism puts an upper bound on processing but also on resource usage. So this PR may also come with a performance regression, and if so we'd want to override the default 1-per-scheduler pool options to use a lot more and hit a middleground in performance vs. resource usage.
