Hiya,
I don't want to start a big flame, but im just really puzzled, this has been
niggling away for the last few weeks and I thought id see if anyone else has
any thoughts or experiences that may help.
Basically the servers in question are these:
3x dual amd mp 2400's, 1.5gb ram.
3x p4's 1gb ram, 3ghz, 2.8ghz and a 2.67ghz.
The p4 singles seem to be running circles around the duals, ive performed
several tests getting the boxes as full as possible.
Dual mp 2400: 52 players, spread across 4 servers. 12man, 20man, 12man,
18man.
The 20man and 18man are running metamod 1.17 and amx 0.9.7, and vac. The
other 2 servers are just running vac.
With this setup the cpu load is at 100% constant.
P4 3Ghz: 35players, spread across 2 servers. 14man, 20man, 12man.
The 20man is full running metamod 1.17 and clanmod 1.82b1 and vac. The other
2 servers are running metamod 1.17 and amx 0.9.7, and vac
With this setup the cpu load is at 30-42%
All servers were running the same map. As a cross reference the server on
the p4 (20man) was using 20-25%. The 20man on the AMD dual was using 40-45%
of total system cpu.
I need to do further testing on this to get more extensive figures, but from
early investigations despite having 2 cpu's each clocked at 2ghz (from
memory), against a 3ghz single chip its being run circles around. IF the p4
figure are to go by, if I was happy with 100% cpu load, then I could have
70-80 players running off this box to get the same cpu useage as 52players
on the dual!
Now, the other duals are all having a similar story, the p4's are doing
exceptionally well, even the 2.67 seems to be able to support more players
than the dual.
What do the rest of you think ?
