Server cpu useage results dual amd

prodigy · November 2002

I'm running 2 16 player servers on a dual AMD MP 2000 with 2GB of RAM:

23:47:52 up 5 days, 10:57, 4 users, load average: 2.07, 1.97, 1.93

27748 nobody 19 0 145m 145m 6032 R 89.3% (cpu) 7.2 3<img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>2.05 hlds

23557 nobody 16 0 141m 141m 6104 R 87.4% (cpu) 7.0 36:14.31 hlds

The fluctuate between that and near 100%.

Thats right, thats quite the load average. I hope that something can be done about this in the next couple of days, because this is QUITE the rig, and for only 16 players... I'm not asking for 32 or anything, but with average ping around 250-300ms...

I'm running an 18 player server (that was actually still lag free with good pings w/ 24 people) on a P4 2.0 and I average 60 to 70% CPU usage. 512MB of RAM, currently ~330MB used.

Win32 or Linux?

Sounds like you are running Win32. The linux is most likely a port with no linux optimizations.

I am running a Linux server with an AMD Athlon XP 2000 with 512 DDR Ram. The 'hlds' process is utilizing 96% of my CPU.

I can't wait for the next two days to go by.

The CPU usage in NS Server is a BIG issue. Flayra said that is related to visibility computation. Maybe he should take example from some ppl like the HLGuard team. They are using SSE and 3DNow! instructions for vector and square root calculation. This is a typical resource from multimedia SDK's.

2 16 player pubs (one being the EC server) with almost same setup as prodigy. /me imagines watching smoke coming out of cpu.

I'm running a 16 player server.

RH Linux 7.2
Intel P3 1Ghz, 512mb RAM

load average: 0.79, 0.79, 0.57
CPU states: 90.4% user

yeah, ns is horribly inefficient.. I just took my server down.. put up a 20player onto a brand new p4 2ghz box (1gb ecc rdram) and the server load shot up to like 1.07 after 14 players loaded on.. ridiculous..

rgr that, we installed the server and had 16/16 players in under 5 mins but the cpu usage was horrible. We run 2 cs ports, 1 dod, and 1 Jedi Knight on a dual 700 with a gig of ram and we still never use 100% of the cpu... This mod is so hoggy it destroyed our other ports. We get a standard 40-70 ping on all ports when full and NS was reporting 300-400 and it took our other ports up to 150.

This looks like a great MOD but the substandard Linux release is going to realy kill a large fan base. We've already removed our port and our souls are saddened...

laters,

darran

darranwil, stealth,

Have you two not perused the forums or even looked at the homepage of this site? The creators acknowledged the current load issue. They said a fix will be out in a couple of days. Complaining about it or knocking the game is pointless.

Also, DOD sucks.

Please be patient!.

I Shut down my server until the path will be released. The MOD look is very good for the first version.

Good Work!.
Take your time and make a optimized code for the servers. Is the key for the sucesss.
