02/13/2021, 6:04 PMAlso I’ve given you three access to my repo, so you can hack there.
Rob Taylor
02/13/2021, 6:05 PMWe should set up the docker hub tokens on the efabless repo then, it should be more or less working and ready for patch cleanup and merge

02/13/2021, 8:56 PM@Anton Blanchard I’m having problems with klayout on ppc64le - its currently at 5 hours and still building o_o

02/15/2021, 5:38 PM@Rob Taylor (cc: @Ahmed Ghazy, @Anton Blanchard): I've been working on converting the rest of the CI into github actions on the last days of the past week and I think it's done https://github.com/agorararmard/openlane/blob/actions-test-branch/.github/workflows/openlane_ci.yml (any input is very appreciated). I won't PR that now to efabless/openlane because we still need to figure out a way to secure some reliable self-hosted runners and we're still paying travis CI, so :--).
Ideally, we'd just need to replace the docker-build job with what @Rob Taylor developed so far and everything would be working perfectly.
P.S: we already have the docker hub secret tokens in the efabless/openlane repo as

Rob Taylor
02/15/2021, 7:59 PM@Amr Gouhar Ok, i’ve updated my branch to use those secrets. Lets see if it all works!
Rob Taylor
02/15/2021, 7:59 PM@Amr Gouhar why do you want self-hosted runners?
Rob Taylor
02/15/2021, 8:01 PM@Amr Gouhar Also, its probably worth you running
make docker-cache CACHE_ID=shapebuild DOCKER_ID=efabless👍 1
Rob Taylor
02/15/2021, 8:01 PMthat will punt the artifacts over and speed things up a fair bit

Amr Gouhar
02/15/2021, 8:01 PM@Rob Taylor: Github secrets will not be available to external PRs. So, it won't work (be reflected in efabless's dockerhub until we merge this PR into some branch).

Rob Taylor
02/15/2021, 8:01 PMah of course, makes sense

Amr Gouhar
02/15/2021, 8:03 PM@Rob Taylor: We want the self-hosted runners for running the test cases themselves, because they take a lot of time if not parallelized properly and some cases require a lot of RAM. It's not blocking but it's nice to have (and we're working towards it).

Rob Taylor
02/15/2021, 8:04 PMahha, yes makes sense. builds are also very slow with only two cores.

02/15/2021, 8:05 PMIt seems not too hard to hookup GCP servers.
Rob Taylor
02/15/2021, 8:06 PMor azure for that matter . I guess its just down to who’ll give the project the most free credits ;)

Amr Gouhar
02/15/2021, 8:07 PMYeah, we're going for GCP servers since the MPW project and all :--).

Rob Taylor
02/15/2021, 8:08 PMI can get you contact with the MS for Startups team

Amr Gouhar
02/15/2021, 8:12 PMThanks! But, let's see how the GCP servers turn out first since they are already pseudo-available.

Rob Taylor
02/15/2021, 8:12 PMnod let me know 🙂
Rob Taylor
02/16/2021, 3:38 AM@Amr Gouhar might make sense though to also have a AWS graviton instance for building/testing ARM , and maybe an IBM hosted ppc64le instance as well…

Amr Gouhar
02/16/2021, 1:19 PM@Rob Taylor: Makes sense to me. But, I'm not the one calling the shots in this one, so I'll ask and tell you what they decide to do.

Rob Taylor
02/16/2021, 2:00 PM@Amr Gouhar understood. Let them know that @Anton Blanchard is going to see if IBM could make a machine available to us
