Once upon a time, a sponsor provided a server called dromedary. It was a big beefy hunky of hardware with a lot of RAM and a bunch of cores. It compiled perl very fast. Some people used it for bisecting, some for testing a bunch of different versions of perl, and so on. Later, a second dromedary existed and was used, but less. I've been trying to get a handle on the various resources we rely on, and dromedary has come up. If there's to be a third iteration of this box: *Who will use it and for what?* I guess I'd start off thinking it's like the old one: used by committers as a powerful place to do a lot of compiling and testing. But is that right? If you are a committer and would (or would not!) use it, please say so, and let me know what you'd be using it for. (What else we might use a bunch of compute for is another question. This is more about a box where you'd have a shell.) -- rjbsThread Next
