 |
|
When running nwn2server on a multicore processor, it is important to set affinity of a server on a core to improve stability an avoid strange 100%CPU lag.
Y actualy use a bash shell on cygwin with a command line utility to set the affinity.
As a futur improvement, it could be great to have the affinity set bey nwnx4.

Ideally, we could have nwnx itself set to one CPU, and the server set to the other...

| nwnx doesn't load CPU. The most important thing is to have the affinity set for the server on one core. For multiserver PW, each server could be bound to a différent core. (I've got 2 cores and 2 servers) |

Good idea. This should be easy to do and adds another feature to one of NWNX's main goals: Running multiple servers.
Btw, NWNX4 itself uses probably less CPU cycles than the Windows clock in the lower right corner
