  • failed to install pts/memory on E5 server under SL 6.2, i7 Desktop is fine

    I have a problem installing the specific tests out of pts/memory (namely pts/cachebench-1.0.0) on Linux Intel Server machines (E5)
    I don?t have problem installing it on desktop machines (i7) with exactly the same configuration (same Linux build)
    The package is loaded but then the installation process hangs somewhere in php code.
    The problem is not in a build itself (I can individually build the cachebench test using makefile that inside the package) but with the phoronix-test-suite build/install environment.
    I can for example build/install/run the other tests (I tired sample-program) on any of the machines above.

    When I run the
    >/usr/bin/phoronix-test-suite install sample-program
    Everything goes fine
    When I try
    >/usr/bin/phoronix-test-suite install cachebench-1.0.0
    The install hangs.
    The symptom ? the install process creates 1000 gcc processes which never finish. When I do ps -xa I see 1007 process running like:
    /bin/bash /tmp/pts-compiler-mask-cachebench1.0.0//gcc -c -I.. -E ../flushall.c
    Machine becomes unresponsive because - probably - the number of processes exceeds some limit.
    On the desktop machine i7 class it does not happen.
