Description

Currently, we only support x86 deployments for C++ benchmarks. To properly support C++ benchmarks, we need to make our current container fleet (build, dependencies) platform-dependent. We can achieve it in two ways:

  • Cross-compilation.
  • Container emulation.

All dependencies need to be recompiled. Also, we need to make our build images to be architecture-dependent; currently, we only offer x86 as all deployed langues (Java, Node.js, Python) are platform-independent and we can just tell the package mangers to install arm packages (like with PyPI).

Research direction

Start by tracing how the current x86 container fleet, dependency builds, and build images are defined. Compare the cross-compilation and container-emulation approaches, then verify that C++ benchmark dependencies and build images are architecture-dependent and that arm64 deployments work.
