Changing build parallelity

Changing build parallelity

By default tipi figures out the best parallelity for the current machine you are using based on the available RAM and CPU counts available. Use the -j parameter to specify another build parallelity (number of cores to use).

tipi . -t linux-cxx17 -j8

The -j8 parameter sets the build parallelity to 8 cores/threads

tipi build . -t linux-cxx17 -j128

The -j128 parameter sets the build parallelity to 128 cores/threads and selects the appropriately sized remote machine in the tipi build cloud

Please note that when using this parameter in conjunction with remote builds it becomes part of the target specification. This means that specifying, meaning that targeting -t linux-cxx17 -j8 targets a different machine than targetting -t linux-cxx17 -j32
