Anyone know: Dual CPU Advantage for Server?

Fri Mar 07, 2003 6:37 pm by †

Greetings all,

Just wondered if anyone knows if the dedicated server is built to take advantage of Dual CPU machines.
I know that if it isn't made to take advantage that running it on a Dual CPU machine will be no better than running it on a Single CPU machine in most cases.

I have just acquired a Dual P4 1.3Ghz machine, on a Dual T1 connection with load balancing, and just wondered if the second CPU will really be of any advantage.

Any info on the subject will be appreciated.

Thanks,

I'm sorry, from my experience, dual does not seem to help

Okay, thanks mate.

I will just have to throw the P4 3.6Ghz single CPU machine on that line then, if it is still available....really didn't want to though, it has another game running on it.

Fly well,

Dual CPU doesn't help much on the connection, at most they're useful when you're running extra apps and services on the server, given that your NOS supports multiprocessing at all.

"Through me you enter the woeful city,
through me you enter eternal grief,
through me you enter among the lost.
Justice moved my celestial maker;
I was created by the divine power,
the supreme wisdom, and the primal love.
Before me nothing was created if not eternal,
and eternal I endure.
Abandon every hope, all you who enter."

You could run 2 fl servers the same time on a dual maschine with out much performance lose I guess ^_° ... or 2 different games.

though I really wonder that fl does not support dual systems ... is this really true?

I just read a post from a Dual CPU user and he says that it appears that the server IS multithreaded and takes advantage of Dual CPUs...that's good news!
