Ubuntu x 64 - Rates - high CPU - I7 870?

[zhelev81]

Hello i just got installed :

Linux version 2.6.38-8-server (buildd@allspice) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu3) ) #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:49:04 UTC 2011

On a Intel I7 870 + 8 Gig ram - Internet 60/60 mbit up/down garanteed 24/7

and I need some help wiht rates ,because I want to get the most out of the machine.

Because is 64 bit Os I have installed the libraries :

apt-get install ia32-libs
apt-get install lib32gcc1

so far so good ... but sometimes the core where the server is running hits 90 -95 % and stays like this for about 5 sec...is that normal ? (I dont feel lag in the server)

I have this rates set : (game is CSS)

This are for 40 slots servers :

Code:

sv_minrate 15000
sv_maxrate 50000
sv_minupdaterate 66
sv_maxupdaterate 67
sv_mincmdrate 66
sv_maxcmdrate 67

Any advice here for better performance ?

Any help would be appreceated.

Thank you

These settings are fine.

what about the high hit of the cpu ?

Thank you

Could be something else, or did you monitor the SRCDS usage(and not the cpus)?

[zhelev81]

Explain me what to do and i will do it

Thank you

[realchamp]

"top" or "htop". It's a CPU monitoring program. You can watch the CPU usage of every single process thats running on your system, obviously you will be looking for SRCDS.

top is default; htop is less of a mess to navigate around in.

i did top and i am getting high cpu on a single core from time to time hits 98 % for around 5-7 seconds ,this is what i see now ,how to find out the problem ?




Can you help me ,thank you

[realchamp]

High looks like SRCDS is causing massive CPU usage, but you said that it did not have any decrease in performance? (might be a glitch)

[zhelev81]

I am runing them with 40 bots on a server ... is this the problem ..? i doubt but how to check what is causing the cpu load ?


Edit : Oh i see now is every round start .... so what is the problem ?

40 bots will cause massive cpu load!

what do you plan to do? bots are not suited for testing server performance, they use more cpu than human players but also in a very different way.

I tought so ... ok guys i will remove them and try to fill up with normal players .

Just tell me i read here in the forums that There are sam patches for linux that makes your servers run better ZEN patch or something like this ,my linux is the lates version but do i need to do any optimizations on it or i dont ?


Can you tell me if yes what must be done ? thank you .

see my signature.

Ok I am back ... so i was able to put 40 real player on my server and i get the same thing ... in the beginning of the round the cpu goes high ping of the players also and server fps down .... what can cause this and tell me how to optimize ?

thank you
