Thread / Intel Xeon

I have some doubts as to the thread.

I have a dedicated server with processor:
Intel Xeon X3450 - 2.66 GHz - 8 Cores, 8M Cache
and I use the following configuration:
# Default: 10
ThreadPoolSizeEffects = 100

# Default: 13
ThreadPoolSizeGeneral = 130

# Default: 2
UrgentPacketThreadCoreSize = 20

# Default: 4
GeneralPacketThreadCoreSize = 40

# Default: 4
GeneralThreadCoreSize = 40

# Default: 6
AiMaxThread = 60
but my processor varies only 20/30 percent of use.
I am using the correct configuration?

I want to use all the features of my dedicated.

What did you expect, 100% CPU usage?

No, but some 60% were nice.

and you assume default config is for 1 core cpus?

As BigBoss already said in multiple threads... set everything to 1000 for the best performances.

:lol:

I have same doubt, i have Dual Intel® Xeon® Processor E5520 2.26 GHz (8 cores/16 threads).

EDIT: Maybe you can help us Zakax ? You have one big server, so you know more about this XD. Nbd say one time in one topic for just use = 8 in all thread options if you have 8 cores machine. Afaik Xeon with HT have virtual cpus, in my case have 8 physical + 8 virtual cpus, so i can use all = 8 or = 16 ? Seriously, i need to know this, because i feel that i am not enjoying the full power of my machine. I would greatly appreciate some help on this.

I'm currently using:

Code: Select all

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------# Thread Configuration# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------# Extreme caution should be here, set to defaults if you do not know what you are doing.# These could possibly hurt your servers performance or improve it depending on your server's configuration, size, and other factors.# Default: 10ThreadPoolSizeEffects = 22 # Default: 13ThreadPoolSizeGeneral = 22 # Default: 2UrgentPacketThreadCoreSize = 8 # Default: 4GeneralPacketThreadCoreSize = 8 # Default: 4GeneralThreadCoreSize = 8 # Default: 6AiMaxThread = 16

That config could really use a decent commentary, nobody really knows what those configs do except those who've read the whole code or have been thoroughly explained.

I did some research and put:
# Default: 10
ThreadPoolSizeEffects = 8

# Default: 13
ThreadPoolSizeGeneral = 8

# Default: 2
UrgentPacketThreadCoreSize = 4

# Default: 4
GeneralPacketThreadCoreSize = 6

# Default: 4
GeneralThreadCoreSize = 6

# Default: 6
AiMaxThread = 7
and now seems to be working well,
According to the eight cores of my CPU.

Up! Still waiting for answers. I want to know if i can set all threads = 16 with dual xeon E5520(8cores/16threads) or leave all = 8. Also searching on google :)

Intel Xeon lol, and what bandwith do you have 1GB or 100MB/s :P ?

??? I ask about thread configs if i can set all = 16, i have this cpu on machine : 2x Intel Xeon E5520(each one have 4 physical cores + 4 on HT, so total 8cores/16threads)

Btw i have 100mbps on machine
