CPU load is continuously above 35

[imran khan]

Hello,

I am facing CPU high load issue with the server. Server hardware and software details are as follows. CPU load is continuously above 35. Daily site visitor is 18000. So I am planning to MySQL performance tuning. Please suggest me on the same.

Hardware Details:-
Hard Disk:- 2000.4 GB X 2 HDD with software RAID-1.
RAM:- 16 GB.
CPU model name AMD Opteron™ Processor 3280
Manufacturer: FUJITSU
Product Name: D3090-A1
Version: S26361-D3090-A1
physical id: 1
cpu cores: 4
processor: 8

Software Details:-
Cpanel, Mysql, Exim, PHP, Perl, Apache and Dolphin

Mysql configuration file details:-

[mysqld]
skip-networking
innodb_file_per_table=1

query_cache_limit = 1M
query_cache_size = 32M

key_buffer_size = 64M

max_heap_table_size = 256M
tmp_table_size = 256M

thread_cache = 128
open_files_limit=2358

max_connections = 1500
max_user_connections = 300

Whoa, whait. Why are you running Dolphin Emulator in a server?

This exact post is also on the CPanel forum and LinuxQuestions. This guy is just spamming irrelevant forums for help.

Hello jimbo1qaz,

Correct. I am running Cpanel and Dolphin on the same server. It is not spamming.

Hello Guys,

Please suggest me the solution.

Thanks,
Imran Khan.

What exactly is your problem? You're running a server, but you're also using that same server to run Dolphin, correct? That CPU load looks average for running Dolphin and whatever your server is doing. Dolphin normally only uses two major threads for the bulk of its emulation, so if those two monopolized two of your eight cores, your CPU usage should be around 25%. Dolphin also has additional minor threads (input, GUI rendering, etc) that would also consume a few more percentage points of CPU usage. Whatever your server is doing is bound to affect CPU usage as well. 35% sounds pretty average.

You did, however say that it goes above 35%. Some specific numbers would be nice to look at. It shouldn't be that hard for your server to give you a graph of CPU usage over time. At any rate, why is the CPU usage a problem? Is running a server affecting your Dolphin gameplay? Is gaming on Dolphin affecting your server? In either case the solution is simple: use different machines for either task.

Just to be sure, imran khan, do you really run dolphin-emu, a Gamecube and Wii emulator, on your server? There are lots of other programs also called dolphin ...
