DBDOC build system hardware performance requirements

DBDOC build system hardware performance requirements

There are no hard and fast system performance requirements for running the DBDOC Build System, but more memory and more CPU speed will speed up your build.

RAM

  • More is better, 6 GB recommended for large systems.
  • Doubling RAM can reduce build time by as much as a factor of five, due to the significant slowdown that can result if you run out of RAM during a build.

CPU Speed

  • Increasing the CPU clockspeed has a linear effect.
  • The build system is mostly single-threaded, so additional CPU cores will unfortunately not help very much (they will only speed up builds if the build process was otherwise being interrupted by other processes on the system).
