Just another interesting project that I worked on.

Pretty significant lowering of CPU usage... my dad has a 100-core parallel processor behind me... that would run a lot of game servers

very cool monk ! keep it up

Simply say, Wow. Cutting 10% of CPU usage is already a lot, cutting it by half is simply insane.

 

Maybe a question that i have in mind.... Does it affect the gameserver code? Since servers are made with this little "slow down" when request...

 

Taking for example CS 1.6, having an "overclocked" kernel (1000hz example) was making the server a little more speedy.

 

And, you say the project that you "worked on." Are you always working on it? Or was it dropped?

 

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Nice Gary, seemingly geekish enough, i understood all of that PDF.

It doesn't affect the code. It removes a huge chunk of overhead because it's running directly inside of the kernel

 

The only downside is, well, hardware interrupts that are disabled could crash the machine
