<div class="IPBDescription">Post your information!</div> Are you running a Natural Selection server? Read below..

I want everyone to post what cpu they have, the cpu usage when server is full (and what map you where running), how much memory (ram), what os they are running, any plugins, and how many maxplayers they have. You can also post any "hints" of getting down the cpu usage.. Thanks

And btw, use "top" in Linux to get info.

Let me go first:

PIII 1 GHz, 512MB SDRam
Redhat 7.3 (Linux)
Maxplayers 12
No plugins
Full Server CPU Usage: 80-82% on ns_tanith

    NS: 2 - 18 person servers v1.03
    CS: 1 - 20 person server
    Metamod
    Adminmod 2.50.50
    logging disabled

    Currently running around 35-45% with all servers full.
    It was steady at 25% with v1.02 but either the patch or adminmod is hitting it a bit harder.
    My CS servers (had 2, just removed one this week) ran at 2-4% with both running.

    Hukka are you getting those numbers at the beginning of the map or towards the end of the map ?

    at the beginning before all the building takes place, my cpu usage is 20-40% as well. But after an hour it's 60-90% depending on the map and circumstances

    CPU usage greatly varies. At the beginning of the map, on say ns_eclipse, however, it usually is around 30-40%, and keeps going higher and higher until the map ends.

    I check those CPU uages when map is almost played. Means end of map. Sorry my bad english. Always my CPU usage is under 45%.

    We have done a lot of work with CPU usage.
  • MellonpoprMellonpopr Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 2304Members
    cool, that's some good stuff Hukka. I have a 2.53ghz cpu (running at 2.85ghz) in this computer and i'm thinking about trading it with my servers weaknut 1.1ghz cpu just to see what it can do.
  • MellonpoprMellonpopr Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 2304Members
    I'm doing the swap right now so I should have some numbers to show soon

    P4 2.0Ghz (512kb Cache)
    1024Mb DDR Ram
    Redhat 7.3 (2.4.18-18.xbigmem)
    16 Player Server
    No Plugins (Runs Halfd)

    On tanith, nothing, nancy and eclipse:
    60-80%

    On bast, caged and hera:
    80-90%

    No ping lag when its loaded down, though a memory leak is present and was causing all sorts of lag issues. I ended up rebooting the system to clear out the dead memory and it was clear as a bell.

    well it's finally setup .. fresh install of
    w2k advanced server
    1gb DDR 333
    loads from 2x 60gb RAID striped HD's (120gb drive)
    Intel P4 2.53ghz overclocked to 2.85ghz

    this shot was ns_nothing and as you can see the average cpu usage was around 30% with 22 players. The pings are a little higher in this shot than usual but hey.. I don't think it's that bad for cable ! BTW sorry the shot is so damned big but when I resized it .. you couldnt read it very well

    HAH what a differance between the linux and windows versions. They really need to fix the linux optimization, or lack of it i guess.

    Dual 2100+ AMD MP
    1 gig DDR266 registered
    SCSI 10K Cheeta drives
    10MB pipe
    Max players of 17 (16 Player slots 1 reserverd slot.)
    Halfd + adminmod.

    One cpu runs the NS server. The other cpu handles all webpage and system requests. I graph my cpu, bandwidth and connection stats.

    <a href='http://www.packetlost.com/brothel/' target='_blank'>http://www.packetlost.com/brothel/</a>

    Even at only 16 players the cpu is for all intense and purposes maxxed out. All the smaller maps run without any pigs climbing. But on hera,caged,bast etc, the pings go from the 30-40 range into the low 100's. But as you can see in the cpu graph its basically 75%+ of the cpu when full, and the larger map are 85%+ with peaks at around 94% of the cpu.

    Rahter sad when the same settings on a windows box is 40-50%. Heres hopeing for some optimization for the linux version in the next patch!!

    Here's another shot on what has always been my toughest map to run. With the 1ghz cpu the usage used to stay all over 98% at full load with pings reporting via the scoreboard aroudn 400-500 with 20 players

    This is ns_hera with 24 players

    I've noticed that the higher the player limit is, the higher the chance is that the server will prematurely crash. When I have it set to 24 maxplayers, pings are still great, but it will often crash at the very end of the first map. With 18 or 20 maxplayers, it won't crash until about the 3rd or so map. Heh.

    This is on Win32 BTW
