Accelerating Compilation 2.5X with Dependency Decoupling & Testing Containerization
5/28/2021
This post details strategies for accelerating compilation times by decoupling project dependencies and implementing testing containerization. It introduces techniques such as creating dependency relationship graphs, flattening dependencies using DFS, and using Merkle Trees for component tagging. It also covers optimizing compilation within components using cache tools like CCache and optimizing Docker image builds. The post also discusses leveraging containerized testing for consistent environments and reducing errors, and outlines strategies for regular cache cleanup and selective caching.
