I do this already in my management system. I used to use XCPU.exe, but
about a year ago I switched to using my own code (which also integrates
a sandbox ... to eliminate those "plugin" problems that people were
complaining about -- on hlds_linux i think)

This is NOT a problem which has a static solution, any attempt
to do so would be a huge waste of time.

Surely it is not difficult to program into your Game Server Management
Systems a method for:
a)Determining the maximum amount of HLDS/SRCDS processes to be
allowed to be
spawned on a physical CPU/CPU Core
b)If CPU/Core already has a HLDS/SRCDS process running on it,
manually (via
your Game Server Management System) to set the processes affinity to
use the
next CPU/CPU Core
c)Wash Rinse Repeat
Hell, I am surprised many of you are not already doing this, since
not being
able to see this problem coming a mile off is naive. You would do it,
if for
no other reason than, if you have 2 x 32 player SRCDS and 2 x 16 player
SRCDS on a Dual Xeon for example, you don't want the 2 x 32 player SRCDS
processes sitting on 1 CPU and the 2 x 16 player SRCDS on the other
CPU. And
you all know being humans rather than a computer, that the obvious
optimal
solution is to ensure that the each CPU gets 1 x 32 player SRCDS and
1 x 16
player SRCDS and bugger off what Windows or SRCDS thinks how they
should get
allocated.
I don't know, maybe I am over thinking the problem or maybe some of
you are
over thinking the problem, but it does seem like the solution is not all
that difficult to achieve.
