  1. Speeding up the development cycle: Stash your files on a Solid State Drive Harald Søvik Fagleder Java @ Computas

  2. Agenda Thesis: Put your build system on a solid state drive Reduce build time by 50%

  3. Disk I/O(writereq / sec) write intensive: delete directories copy resources compile source install

  4. Disk I/O(readreq / sec) read intensive: copyresources compile copyartifacts expandartifacts average case: 1000 req/sec 4.2 ms / req 4.2 s/s

  5. Solid State Drive available to consumers at budget prices better overall search time <0.1ms vs ~4.2ms

  6. Build experiment 2 storagetechnologies HDD Barracuda 7200.10 SATA2 3.0Gb/s 500GB 16MB cache, seek ~4.2ms SDD OCZ Vertex 1275 SDD SATA2 60GB 64MB cache, seek <0.1ms 2 file systems Windows (NTFS) Linux (ext3) 100 buildseach no tests nopmd offline

  7. Build results

  8. Results 10 builds / day worst case: 3380 sec = 56m 20s best case: 1440 sec = 24m no tests/pmd Δ32 min / day return time ~1 week

  9. Roll out: with tests/pmd Avg net gain: 4,0 min / dev / build

  10. Roll out: no tests/pmd Avg net gain: 4,2 min / dev / build

  11. After 3 months (with test/pmd)

  12. After 3 months (no test/pmd)

  13. Avg build times

  14. Conclusion • Stuck on windows ? • ssd is good for you • Avg gain • ~4 min / build • mileage may vary • Side effects • faster svn • faster, more responsive ide

  15. The End http://twitter.com/harals hso@computas.com
