Threadripper 3990X: The Quest To Compile 1 BILLION Lines Of C++ On 64 Cores
Threadripper 3990X: The Quest To Compile 1 BILLION Lines Of C++ On 64 Cores February 3, 2021 RAD Studio is made up of Delphi and C++Builder. On the Delphi side the Object Pascal compiler is a single pass compiler and the compiler itself is not a parallel compiler but when compiling multiple projects in parallel it was able to compile 1 billion lines of Object Pascal code in 5 minutes on the AMD Ryzen 9 5950x 16 core machine. I wanted to see if something similar was possible with C++. This post is part of our modern hardware series where we explore the massive productivity gains that can be ac...
