Description
Hi,
has someone ever seen that it is super slow (~25 minutes for each MR) to build apex from source in a dockerfile?
i am running scripts in dockerfile in CICD pipeline as below:
RUN git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex
RUN pip install -v --no-cache-dir --global-option="--cpp_ext" --global-option="--cuda_ext" ./apex
any suggestion you might have? thank you very much.
