If it is single threaded it will only use 1 core at a time. It might use all cores over time, but if you have 4 cores it will only use 25% of them at most at any time. Over time, the most CPU that can be used with 4 cores would be 25%.
Just an FYI, srcds has 2 threads. I thought it had 3, but ps -eLf|grep srcds only shows 2 threads, and 2 threads could use 2 cores at one time. } -----Original Message----- } From: [email protected] [mailto:hlds_linux- } [email protected]] On Behalf Of kERPLUNK } Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 11:26 PM } To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list; [email protected] } Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Very unstable FPS in hlds } } sorry but its not like you said.. } hlds is single-threaded, thats true, but it use multiple cores at once } time } at least you use taskset to force to use only one core. } } pentium 4 have hyperthreading, doesnt have 2 real core.. just a real core } + } "virtual" core (you will see 200% of cpu but its not very real) } pentium d / pentium dual-core / core 2 duo have 2 cores (200% of real cpu) } core 2 quad have 4 cores (400% of real cpu) } core i7 have 4 real cores + 4 virtual cores (800% cpu but not very real) } } about your fps problems, try running your server with: } # chrt -p 5 ./hlds_run x x x x x x x } } cheers! } } kERPLUNK } LocalStrike | Game Servers } http://www.localstrike.com.ar/ } } ----- Original Message ----- } From: "Andrew Armstrong" <[email protected]> } To: <[email protected]>; "'Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list'" } <[email protected]> } Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 12:05 AM } Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Very unstable FPS in hlds } } } I have not read most of this thread, but you mentioned 23% CPU usage. } } Remember that: } * hlds is single-threaded.
