As Guy said, all you are doing there is saying 'any of my four CPU cores can execute code for this process', but as hlds is single threaded, only one core (of the four) can be executing code for the process at any one time. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Guy Watkins Sent: Thursday, 10 September 2009 3:26 PM To: 'kERPLUNK'; 'Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list'; [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Very unstable FPS in hlds 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.
