And for VAC we have actually only the first version. Where is the second one ? It's not so complicated to make a 64bits of VAC2 ? There is no 64 bit version of VAC2 for servers available ATM and Valve doesn't seem very willing to fix this.

Re: [hlds_linux] 64Bits Compatiblity
Or it appears that people followed VALVe's lead with the annoucnement of 64bit functionality previously and never imagined the utter lack of responsibility shown afterwards by not enabling VAC2 on 64bit binaries... If it isn't important enought to have VAC2 for 64bit, it should not have been important enough to create 64bit functionality previously. m0gely wrote: Mike Noordermeer wrote: There is no 64 bit version of VAC2 for servers available ATM and Valve doesn't seem very willing to fix this.

I have a 64bits server because I use 64bits services and actually a big part of linux application are compatible in 64bits. So why not VAC2 ? It's got a really big potential in 64bits processors so why they didn't use it ? They released a 64bits version of Half-Life2 but what's about servers ?

Re: [hlds_linux] RE: 64Bits Compatiblity
stolen from theserverside cause im to lazy to do it 64 bit computers process data in larger chunks than 32 bit computers. This means a number of things, but the big 2 are: 1) When programs are written to support 64-bit processors, those programs will generally perform faster than on a 32-bit processor of the same speed. This is partially because 32-bit computers must handle 64-bit numbers in two steps, whereas 64-bit computers only need to use one step. 2) 64-bit processors can address more memory than 32-bit processors. This means your server can have more RAM, and therefore can store more data in memory, making memory-intensive programs like databases faster.

At least I'm running 3-4 CS 1-6 servers with the hlds_amd64 binary and (!) AMXMODX1.60 in 64bit. The servers are running only with VAC1 due to the oudated binaries, but this means nothing for running public servers ;) What I saw in the past: same servers running with only the 32bit binaries are making up to 100% more cpu usage! F.e.: one public is a 16 slot sniperserver, making up a maximum of ~20% cpu usage with 64bit, this server uses up to 40-50% power running under 32bit... For me and my experiences in the past, I will demand 64bit modules for every game ;) hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com schrieb am 12.01.06 06:15:19: Pretty soon I'm going to start demanding 128bit bins! :) Jon McDermott wrote: Steven Hartland wrote: lol its quite funny how many people dont understand the 32bit / 64bit issue. I understand 32 and 64 bit issues quite well, thank you very much. The real issue is not getting a recompiled dedicated server application that is built using existing code, it's getting a dedicated server application that is optimized for a particular processor.

Reduced CPU usage, reduced memory usage and more stable server refresh rates are going to magically come from a 64 bit version of an existing dedicated server application recompiled into a 64 bit environment? I don't think so, those kinds of things come from fundamental improvements in the game server code itself. Why are there 64 bit versions of *nix? Because there is a market for the ability to access huge amounts of memory for certain application Why are there 64 bit versions of Windows. Because AMD brought 64 bit computing to the desktop to beat Intel in a market segment, and more bits is good. I'm using Win XP Pro 64 bit on the computer from which I write this message; I want neat toys as much as the next person. My point is the things you want from a game server application are what Joseph mentions, regardless of the operating system on which it runs. Moving to a 64 bit release is not going to bring these things about without additional development work to improve server code. That work would benefit everyone. What I was hoping to see was some real world experience from someone that demonstrates the claims that people are making in this thread. ___ 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
