+
+ For many modern systems with multiple processors (or cores) the
+ compilation time for a package can be reduced by performing a "parallel
+ make" by telling the make program how many processors are available via
+ a command line option or an environment variable. For instance, an Intel
+ Core i9-13900K processor has 8 P (performance) cores and
+ 16 E (efficiency) cores, and a P core can simultaneously run two threads
+ so each P core are modeled as two logical cores by the Linux kernel.
+ As the result there are 32 logical cores in total. One obvious way to
+ use all these logical cores is allowing make to spawn
+ up to 32 build jobs. This can be done by passing the
+ -j32 option to make:
+
+
+ make -j32
+
+
+ Or set the MAKEFLAGS environment variable and its
+ content will be automatically used by make as
+ command line options:
+
+
+ export MAKEFLAGS=-j32
+
+
+
+ Never pass a -j option without a number to
+ make or set such an option in
+ MAKEFLAGS. Doing so will allow make
+ to spawn infinite build jobs and cause system stability issue.
+
+
+
+
+ To use all logical cores available for building packages in
+ and
+ , set MAKEFLAGS
+ now in .bashrc:
+
+
+cat >> ~/.bashrc << "EOF"
+export MAKEFLAGS=-j$(nproc)
+EOF
+

+ Replace $(nproc) with the number of logical
+ cores you want to use if you don't want to use all the logical cores.
