linux - SMP

My JK2 server runs on a dual p3 500. Running a 24 player server only 1 cpu get's used and it's at about 80% usage! Is there any way to get Jk2 to use both cpu's? Running SuSE 7.2. Thanks,

I may be speaking out of turn, but I don't believe the jk2 executable has the capacity to utilize smp. I seem to recall similar "issues" with it and q3a way back when it was new.

 

-h

teh q3 client is/was smp capable. im not sure about the server though.

AFAIK the server bin is not multi-threaded. However, I'm able to run 4 6 player duel servers and 1 12 player TFFA server on a dual Xeon 550 and still keep the load below 1 a majority of the time.

If I recall correctly, the SMP provided for in Q3 only split off the graphics side of the game. Thus, if you run a dedicated server it wouldn't help any because the graphics engine isn't being utilized.
