Two New AArch64 Build Servers Deployed for AOSC OS Maintenance
October 11, 2023
After upgrading our AMD64 build server earlier this year, our computational resources for maintaining the AArch64 (arm64) port became relatively limited. Added with limited Internet bandwidth and storage I/O performance, the current build server could no longer keep up with the aforementioned build server for AMD64 (amd64). This slowed down compilation, packaging, and testing for our Primary (tier 1) archiectures.
In June, a friend from the community donated two high-performance AArch64 servers - one with a 64-core Phytium FT2000/64 processor and the other with a 64-core Kunpeng 920 processor. Shortly after, with support from friends of the community, we successfully crowdsourced some additional essential parts and got sponsorship for colocation.
As of today, these servers are now live and deployed, accelerating and easing maintenance for AOSC OS's AArch64 port. Thank you for all your support!
