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.

...

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.

Per minute pricing is listed under Per-minute rates for x64-powered larger runners and Per-minute rates for arm64-powered larger runners. These charges add up fast, especially for matrixed builds. Keep in mind that:

• Windows runners are 2x the cost of Linux runners

• 4 core GPU runners cost the same as 16 core CPU only runners

For projects needing access to GPUs, you would typically want to build on a CPU only runner, upload build artifacts “somewhere”, and then only run the GPU-dependent test suite on a GPU runner.

Users with commit access to a repository can show the larger runners available to the repo under Actions → Runners → Github-hosted runners :Image Removed

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:
