How long it takes to compile caffe classification example?

[Liam]

If I rebuild classification example, it takes 14 mins to finish.

I am curious, How long does your machine takes to compile the caffe library?

You mean compile time in Windows MSVC?

Then you may want to discard unnecessary architectures in CommonSettings.props.

I build mine for ~80 seconds, use only xx_52 in CommonSettings.props:

<!-- Set CUDA architecture suitable for your GPU.

         Setting proper architecture is important to mimize your run and compile time. -->

        <CudaArchitecture>compute_52,sm_52</CudaArchitecture>

Hi Hieu 

I didn't go through CommonSettings.props at all.  AFAIK, this is for VS2013 settings.

I got the build folder after I run C:\caffe\scripts\build_win.cmd script which is for VS2015.

Then I open C:\caffe\build\Caffe.sln  and compile everything from there.

My problem is that it takes over 14 mins to build everything. 

I know this is a vague question, just want to get a rough idea how long does other machine take.

Thanks for your reply.
