Overview

The Slicer factory machine is maintained by Kitware and produces dashboard builds of many software projects, including nightly, continuous, and packaged versions of Slicer and its approved extensions. See the Slicer4 dashboard.

These builds are generated every day on three different operating systems: Windows 7, Mac OS X, and Linux. Because it is not legal to run any version of Mac OS X on a virtual machine (unless its host also runs Mac OS X), the host OS is Mac OS X, and the Windows and Linux builds are run within this machine as virtual machines.

Required factory components

See dashboard prerequisites.

  • Ubuntu 10.04
  • CMake version: 3.5.0-rc3
  • GCC version: Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5.1
  • Tasks scheduled using cron
  • Processors: 5
  • Memory: 10GB
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu

Installed following these instructions:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.6
sudo apt-get install g++-4.6

Remote access

Remote access: Via SSH or VNC from Kitware internal network (10.171.2.113).

VM: Windows 7

  • Tasks are scheduled using the Windows Task Scheduler (Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Task Scheduler)
  • On Windows, instead of bash, we use batch scripts comprised of commands to call ctest to run all the nightly scripts.

factory-south-win7.kitware

  • Windows 7 Ultimate N - Service Pack 1 (Build 7601) on an x86 platform.
  • CMake version: 3.5.0-rc3
  • Compiler: VS2013 Community Edition
  • Processors: 6
  • Memory: 16GB


Also, keep in mind the Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Tutorials/DashboardSetup#Remarks remarks about building a dashboard on a Windows machine. These all apply here.

Remote access: Via Remote Desktop from Kitware internal network (10.171.2.245).


Maintenance

Check Virtual Machines (factory-south-ubuntu and factory-south-win7)

When

Every day (or as soon as issues are suspected)

What

  • Try to:
    • SSH into factory-south-ubuntu
    • RDP into factory-south-win7
  • If failure:
    • Connect to factory.south and check the state of the virtual machines.
  • Are the virtual machine unresponsive ?
  • No -> No further action required
  • Yes -> Read below
    • Kill both VMs
    • Restart the host (factory-south)
    • Manually start the virtual machines
    • If needed, manually restarts the nightly build (See below)

Manually restart the night builds

If the factory machines were restarted after the regular Nightly startup time, the nightly scripts will have to be explicitly started.

  • Linux: Run /home/kitware/Dashboards/DashboardScripts/factory-south-ubuntu.sh
  • MacOSX: Run /Users/kitware/DashboardScripts/factory.sh
  • Windows: Open "Task Scheduled" -> slicer -> right click on "Nightly" -> Start

Nightly Build startup times

  • Linux: 11:10pm
  • MacOSx: 11:10pm
  • Windows: Midnight
