It's not like saying I don't want a 2000MHz CPU because I'm not gaining any CPU power out of threading. It's just spreading the workload around.
My point was, right now my CPU is at capacity and adding threading into the mix will not help. -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Ook Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 3:31 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 server multi-threaded support If multi-threaded code takes 100% of two cores, then it probably lags bad with just one core. It's like saying I don't want a 2000 MHz cpu because it already takes 100% of my 1000MHz cpu... If you have a multi-core system, then you should set affinity to a single core so the app doesn't get swapped from core to core. If we actually had multi-threaded code, we could do the same thing - decide for ourselves how many cores it uses. I vote for 64 bit multi-threaded code. And I'm going to wait for the easter bunny to bring it because that is likely to be the only way we will get it... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Paloma" <drunkenf...@hotmail.com> To: "'Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list'" <hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 2:56 PM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 server multi-threaded support > I'm not a fan of adding multi-threading to TF2 servers only because with > 32 > players it's already taking 100% CPU of one core -- I don't need it taking > 100% of two. > > "Oh!
