GitHub Actions Runners
By default ASWF projects under the AcademySoftwareFoundation GitHub organization have access to the Standard GitHub-hosted runners for public repositories for Linux, Windows and macOS. Our GitHub organization qualifies as an Enterprise organization which increases the limits for job concurrency and usable monthly minutes.
Some ASWF projects have their own top-level GitHub organization: these are included under our Enterprise account and should have the same access as projects / repos under the AcademySofftwareFoundation GitHub organization.
ASWF also has a limited monthly budget for Larger Runners which add runners to support larger numbers of CPU, more RAM, different CPU architectures and GPUs. These Larger Runners are managed by Linux Foundation Release Engineering team and can be selected by the runs-on
directive in the workflow file. They can only be used by CI jobs running in the context of the project repository, they cannot be accessed from a fork.
Since the monthly budget is limited, projects should make judicious use of these Larger Runners, possibly for lower frequency jobs to validate different CPU architectures, or to run a GPU-accelerated test suite rather than a full compilation. Projects wishing to use these Larger Runners may want to bring up their requirements for discussion in the #wg-ci Slack channel.
Users with commit access to a repository can show the larger runners available to the repo under Actions → Runners → Github-hosted runners
:
As of July 2024, the following Larger Runners are available. Additional configurations can be discussed in the #wg-ci Slack channel and requested via a Linux Foundation help desk ticket:
