Re: [hlds_linux] 1.6 FPS drops
I removed the SMT and multi core scheduler support from the kernel and the FPS seems to be more stable now. Another thing i noticed is that disabling ACPI seems to limit performance. 23 apr 2007 kl. 22.27 skrev Jonathan Selander: Doesn't that just taskset the shell which executes the script? Or does it apply to other processes executed from the script as well? I tried it a couple of hours ago but didn't notice any difference in performance.

I need to run the servers at 1000 FPS because it appeals to customers. The hardware is dual quad-core xeon 2.66ghz with 8gb fully-buffered memory. The FPS is generally at 980-1000, but sometimes it drops to around 500. This happens with only one, completely idle server running on the machine. Perhaps i don't need to care about this, but i'd really like to know what can cause these drops to happen? Apparently the CPU is able to keep it at a steady 1000 FPS, and since there's nothing else running i don't see why it should drop to ~500. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
