- Old release results in CSIT-Dash:
- Latest releace available in pre-CDash PAL was rls2302
- Original CDash rule: Only process the latest + 2 earlier releases.
- Currently inaccessible results: rls2306.
- First CDash-ready data is from rls2302.
- Some data from rls2210 could be accessible, but not complete.
- Vote: Make all releases from rls2302 on available in CDash?
- Applying "all releases rule" (and to keep up with the trajectory 3rls/year for several upcoming years) requires larger instances (C7*/R7* optimised).
- Old release results in CSIT-Dash:
This will double the monthly/yearly costs short term, while keep the risk of going to 3* the today's costs in long term. Currently the C-Dash costs ~250$/month (~3000/year). CSIT (including weekly, releases, testing and C-Dash) is ~350$/month (~5000$/year). Forecast prediction (no change on instances) is ~419$/month for the next year (till Aug-2025). So effectively with the new C-Dash instances the rough estimate is 8000$ for a year for CSIT (that is +3000$). Consider business justification before voting.
