llvm dev - Sep 2010 - [LLVMdev] Colocation Facility for LLVM?

Another suggestion I've been given is this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm. You wouldn't even have to supply
hardware.

The compile farm is a set of machines that is shared between different 
users. They are great to try your code on different architectures, but 
the level of control is a lot lower than the level you get from 
dedicated machines. So it is probably not what Daniel wants.

Anyways, it is a great resource for gcc and open source development and 
I would love to see LLVM contributing to the compilefarm project. If you 
have access to spare machines, I am sure there is a place to host those 
machines in the compilefarm.

several LLVM buildbots already run on compile farm machines.

Ciao,

Exactly.

The compile farm is great and I am glad we are able to make use of the
machines, but many of our buildbots are very demanding on the machine
and it is good to have a few core dedicated machines to use for
serving things.

Or put another way, I like having access to machines I won't feel
guilty if I hose. :)
