So I've been trying to figure out how to speed up build times, because they've gotten suuuper slow. One call out was we're not actually really using `sccache`, which I played around with in NVIDIA#733, but it didn't quite do what I wanted. I went this route because the default GHA cache size (if we wanted to use Github caching) is 10GB, unless you pay for more. So I had started an internal discussion (can't link it here), and I was pointed to some people who said we actually do pay for more GHA cache, meaning we CAN use it. That said, we may burn through our bumped up cache size pretty, quick, BUT, consider this an experiment. We want to see: - How quickly we burn through the cache. - If we see immediately noticable benefits. - What we're leaving on the table by not wiring up `sccache` to use a cache. Another catch 22 is this has to be merged for subsequent PRs to leverage it (I can't do an A/B like I did with Azure testing), so once this gets merged, I can watch subsequent PR performance to see if we're benefitting from it.

Description
So I've been trying to figure out how to speed up build times, because they've gotten suuuper slow. One call out was we're not actually really using
sccache, which I played around with in #733, but it didn't quite do what I wanted. I went this route because the default GHA cache size (if we wanted to use Github caching) is 10GB, unless you pay for more. So I had started an internal discussion (can't link it here), and I was pointed to some people who said we actually do pay for more GHA cache, meaning we CAN use it.That said, we may burn through our bumped up cache size pretty, quick, BUT, consider this an experiment. We want to see:
sccacheto use a cache.Another catch 22 is this has to be merged for subsequent PRs to leverage it (I can't do an A/B like I did with Azure testing), so once this gets merged, I can watch subsequent PR performance to see if we're benefitting from it.
Note that I do set specific "fallback" environment variables here too -- if for some reason there is an error using the GH cache,
sccachewill just skip using the cache, to allow the build to proceed (albeit without leveraging the GH cache).Signed-off-by: Chet Nichols III chetn@nvidia.com
