wow this update also had a VAC2 update in it :)  I frequent the cheat
forums to see how out of hand cheating is getting and now people can't

Re: [hlds_linux] help how do i get the servers in linux to use both cpus

2005-08-04 Thread James Tucker
I completely agree.

Due to the nature of the hlds and srcds platforms, you are unlikely to
see many benefits with HT technology. Process management is always
going to be a big task for a box like that, and the only real path to
recovery is a bigger cache, faster bus and more ram.

HT is much more useful on the client where one of the virtual
processors can be allocated to deal with driver level functionality
and the other to deal with the steam and hl2 processes. The advantage
of locking one or another to any particular virtual processor is
minimal and you run the risk of process starvation when you play with
process management (although that would still be hard to achieve).

Trust in your kernels process and processor management - if you're
concerned about comments in your kernel code like "//should this go
here?" then I'd recommend a new OS. On the other hand if you're happy
with that, then feel free to continue.

Nice. Seems like the SourceTV flaws I once mentioned were also fixed,
although this can't be found in the changelog.

Personally I find running multiple servers of anything runs better on
HT than none HT, sometimes if running only one process that really
uses the cpu you may be better off with none HT. You get a lot of
bogus info from people who don't understand how HT and cpu usage is
shown, so personally I'd say read up on it, and do testing yourself
with your own benchmarks (looking at things like server fps etc rather
than cpu usage) and go with what feels best on your own setup.

there is no hard-proof disabling HT is any better than using it.. pure

what might seem to run better for one might not for another.

HT doens NOT equal two CPU's.  Think of it more as CPU
resources A and B.  HLDS likes lots of A and bugger all of
B, so forcing it to use B is probably a poor idea.



Its not up to hlds... Its how the OS, or rather the SMP code in the
kernel, is managing to use the two virtual cpu's. Apperently there is



some



tools in some distributions where you can set a process to a certain
virtual cpu. And sometimes its not that specify a cpu for a process.



Dunno



which dists that have those tools.



and on a proper SMP machine doing this might have some small benefit.
HT is not SMP, he does NOT have two CPU's and he cannot run twice as many
HLDS processes.
HT is a good way of offloading other system processes, and confusing newbs
into thinking their box is only at half the utilization it actually is.

Re: [hlds_linux] help how do i get the servers in linux to use both cpus

HT doens NOT equal two CPU's.  Think of it more as CPU
resources A and B.  HLDS likes lots of A and bugger all of
B, so forcing it to use B is probably a poor idea.


Its not up to hlds... Its how the OS, or rather the SMP code in the
kernel, is managing to use the two virtual cpu's. Apperently there is some
tools in some distributions where you can set a process to a certain
virtual cpu. And sometimes its not that specify a cpu for a process. Dunno
which dists that have those tools.


and on a proper SMP machine doing this might have some small benefit.
HT is not SMP, he does NOT have two CPU's and he cannot run twice as many
HLDS processes.
HT is a good way of offloading other system processes, and confusing newbs
into thinking their box is only at half the utilization it actually is.

I have no thoughts. None whatsoever. They don't pay me to think.
