These variables should be set from +a :term:`configuration file` and thus take effect over the entire build environment. +For each variable, also see the variable description in the glossary for more +details. + +- :term:`BB_NUMBER_THREADS`: + + This sets a hard limit on the number of threads :term:`BitBake` can run at the + same time. Lowering this value will set a limit to the number of + :term:`BitBake` threads, but will not prevent a single task from starting more + compilation threads (see :term:`PARALLEL_MAKE`). + +- :term:`BB_NUMBER_PARSE_THREADS`: + + Like :term:`BB_NUMBER_THREADS`, but this variable sets a limit on the number + of threads during the parsing of the environment (before executing tasks). + +- :term:`PARALLEL_MAKE`: + + This variable should be set in the form of ``-jN``, where ``N`` is a positive + integer. This integer controls the number of threads used when starting + ``make``. Note that this variable is not limited to the usage of ``make``, + but extends to the compilation (:ref:`ref-tasks-compile` task) commands + defined by the :ref:`ref-classes-meson`, :ref:`ref-classes-cmake` and such + classes. + + If you want to have a different limit from the rest of the build for a + recipe, it is also possible to achieve with the following line added to your + ``local.conf`` :term:`configuration file`:: + + PARALLEL_MAKE:pn-linux-yocto = "-j4" + + The above example will limit the number of threads used by ``make`` for the + ``linux-yocto`` recipe to 4. + +- :term:`PARALLEL_MAKEINST`: + + Like :term:`PARALLEL_MAKE`, but this variable controls the number of threads + used during the :ref:`ref-tasks-install` task. + + The default value of :term:`PARALLEL_MAKEINST` is the value of + :term:`PARALLEL_MAKE`. + +- :term:`BB_PRESSURE_MAX_CPU`, :term:`BB_PRESSURE_MAX_IO` and + :term:`BB_PRESSURE_MAX_MEMORY`: + + These variables control the limit of pressure (PSI as defined by + https://docs.kernel.org/accounting/psi.html) on the system, and will + limit the number of :term:`BitBake` threads dynamically depending on the + current pressure of the system. This also means that your host must support + the PSI kernel feature (otherwise see :term:`BB_LOADFACTOR_MAX` below). + + These variables take a positive integer between 1 (extremely low limit) and + 1000000 (value unlikely ever reached). Setting an extremely low value, such + as 2, is not desirable as it will result in :term:`BitBake` limiting the + number of threads to 1 most of the time. + + To determine a reasonable value to set for your host, follow these steps + below: + + #. Start by setting the maximum value for the CPU pressure:: + + BB_PRESSURE_MAX_CPU = "1000000" + + #. Then, start a heavy-load build and redirect the CPU pressure information + in a file:: + + bitbake -DDD core-image-minimal | grep "Current CPU pressure:" > cpu_pressure.txt + + You can stop the build at anytime with Control + C. + + #. Next, sort the CPU pressure by highest from ``cpu_pressure.txt`` into + ``cpu_pressure_sorted.txt``:: + + sort -r -n -t ' ' -k 5 < cpu_pressure.txt > cpu_pressure_sorted.txt + + #. Finally, open the ``cpu_pressure_sorted.txt`` file and inspect the + highest values. These should indicate a value reached by your host + system. You can set a value below the highest number in that file. + + The steps above are applicable for the I/O and Memory pressure + (:term:`BitBake` prints ``Current IO pressure:`` or ``Current Memory + pressure:`` messages). + + After setting initial values, :term:`BitBake` will print messages on the + console in the following format each time the current pressure exceeds of the + limit set by the above variables:: + + Pressure status changed to CPU: True, IO: False, Mem: False (CPU: 1105.9/2.0, IO: 0.0/2.0, Mem: 0.0/2.0) - using 1/64 bitbake threads + + Take a look at the value between parenthesis: ``CPU: 1105.9/2.0, IO: 0.0/2.0, + Mem: 0.0/2.0``.

If :term:`BitBake` prints these messages a lot, it + is likely that your pressure limit is too low, and thus can be raised to a + higher value. + +- :term:`BB_LOADFACTOR_MAX`: + + This variable will limit the number of threads :term:`BitBake` will start + by monitoring the current CPU load of the host system. :term:`BitBake` will + print the following when the limit set by :term:`BB_LOADFACTOR_MAX` is + reached:: + + Load average limiting set to True as load average: 0.7188262939453125 - using 37/64 bitbake threads + + This variable has no effect when any of :term:`BB_PRESSURE_MAX_CPU`, + :term:`BB_PRESSURE_MAX_IO` or :term:`BB_PRESSURE_MAX_MEMORY` is set, as it + was designed for systems that do not have pressure information available.
