Because my system has a rather low single-threaded performance, I tried to implement parallel testing using Python's Queue class. Even though poppler-regtest currently uses two processes per test file, rendering even and odd pages respectively, the test files themselves are still handled sequentially and both process are joined for each test file. This will yield suboptimal system utilization even for a small three-core system like mine. Using the "-t/--threads N" option in the patched poppler-regtest will spawn N worker threads that handle all tests they can get from a single queue for all known tests, allowing to heavily utilize also large system if using a large set of test cases. But even for my three-core system, this brought down the time to create references for the complete test suite using the Splash backend from 4,5 hours to 2,75 hours.</pre> </blockquote> What do You mean with "patched poppler-regtest"? There was no attachment, or do I miss something? If You talk about my multi-threaded testcase, please be aware, that it is still experimental, even if quite close. Here the result of my last regression test last sunday evening: Total 1133 tests 1114 tests passed (98.32%) 17 tests failed (1.50%): /media/thomas/HD-PCTU3/PDF Suite/Algorithmics - The Spirit of Computing, 3rd Ed.pdf (splash), /media/thomas/HD-PCTU3/PDF Suite/Essentials of English Grammar - <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.ielts4u.blogfa.com.pdf">www.ielts4u.blogfa.com.pdf</a> ... 2 tests crashed (0.18%): /media/thomas/HD-PCTU3/PDF Suite/bug157090.pdf (splash), /media/thomas/HD-PCTU3/PDF Suite/sinatr4c.f5.pdf (splash) I'll first have a look at the crashes next weekend, then I'll continue with looking at the failed tests.... Cheers, Thomas <blockquote cite="mid:50BD9BEC.7070101@myopera.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> IMHO, the necessary changes seem quite small especially since a lot of them are connected to indentation handling. What are your thoughts on the utility and implementation of this?
