oiler 0 Posted December 17, 2002 Hi Small question: Working OFP server (under Linux) on two procesor properly? or it use only one of procesors? thx for answers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lobanak 0 Posted December 17, 2002 I think it only uses one processor. Main code is from game I think and this don't use 2 processors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whisperFFW06 0 Posted December 17, 2002 Hi, We are currently running OFP server on a dual processor Linux box, and since the last patch, we did not encounter any particular problem. AFAIK, OFP server is not designed to handle multiprocessor in a particular way, but the code is multithreaded. Linux kernel share the threads of a process among the available processors, so you will see both processors working on OFP process. Whisper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shrike 0 Posted December 17, 2002 Which looks like this: edit: picture removed...sorry guys! The login to my site is cookied so I didn't notice I still haven't a clue why and when it's distributed though...It's my first MP system and my first Linux system so... Sometimes it just jumps from one CPU to the other and back... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not 100% OFP processes take up to 80-90% of CPU, running sometimes on one processor, sometimes on the other. When 2 ofp threads are running at the same time, each get to one processor. But it happens not that often. There is one thread which runs all the time, and sometime another server process shows up and eat some CPU, then disapear. So it does not really take full advantage of multi processors. The second processor help for very short periods, once or twice in 5 seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sergeant rock 3 Posted February 7, 2003 We have a single P4 2.4 GHz server with 1 GB RAM on OC3. We are running Mandrake Linux and Dedicated server 1.90f. Why do I see that OFP is using nearly 100% of the processor when the game is running? It uses the entire CPU whether the game is running at 50 FPS or 10 FPS. Do we have a setting or tweak wrong? Anything we can do to improve performance? I find it hard to believe the resource hunger of this game...it is unparalleled!! Rock out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
