Description

[Dan Minor [:dminor]]

The reftests currently run very slowly on the Android 2.3 emulators. I want to profile them and see where the bottlenecks lie.

Hi dminor, I am going to assign this to you to keep track of the loan(s). 

When you are finished with the loan(s) forever, please comment stating so and mark this bug as resolved.

By the way, now that this aws instance has been created, starting and stopping it can happen in a flash!
If you are not going to be using this machine for multiple hours, let us know in this bug and we can stop it.
Comment again when you want it started back up.
* For really fast turnaround, ping #releng (look for nick with 'buildduty')

I've run out of space on the device while trying to run the android_build_emulator.sh script. I'm guessing that these normally have EBS or other additional storage that my instance is lacking.

Would it be possible to get that added?

We figured this out on IRC.

dminor needs to build the Android 2.3 emulator with profiling.

Let's see if I can create an instance with graydon's AMI.

Comment 4

[Armen [:armenzg]]

Since we're building from a different AMI than standard this request needed me to have enough time to look at it in detail (besides having to find the AMI).
I will look into it.

[Armen [:armenzg]]

The AMI still copying to the right region.

dminor, I can't remember our last conversation from last week.

Has this been working for you?
