Server Load - 1.05 <----what is that #? - GoFuckYourself.com

Jace · 11-17-2006, 02:01 AM

I just checked and my server load is at 1.05

how high does # go?

it is a dual xeon server, is 1.05 high?

Jace · 11-17-2006, 02:03 AM

nevermind, figured it out

1.0 is basically 100%

with a dual xeon I can be there pretty safely

Depending on what you do, a server can run at 20 load and still not be shitty.

yeah, that is what I have been reading

it is a pretty beefy machine too, dual xeons 2gb ram

from what I can tell as long as it isn't a constant load of 10-20, I should be fine

your server load should not be above 1.00 (per processor core)

so if you have a dual xeon, anything under 2.00 is optimal.

Half-right.

you shouldn't be worried, 1.05 is 105%. good luck!

ladida · 11-17-2006, 05:08 AM

Seen servers with 80, they still lived

load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

yeah, we launched our video encoding systems last month and at had some issues where we were getting loads of 58 and above. I'd really never seen a server load like that before.

i have seen loads shoot to over 100

11-17-2006, 06:35 AM

Is it not a measure of process loads, meaning that there is no waiting queue if the load is <1 (all processes are served immediately), while the delays increase with loads above 1?

I have had loads around 40-50 before during peak times, but with some optimization I was able to decrease it to 5-8.

boobshare · 11-17-2006, 06:37 AM

I've seen 200+ on a server that is about to die, swapping to hell and back. It took a couple of mins between typing the cmd and seeing the output.

Klen · 11-17-2006, 06:39 AM

My load average is 30%

SinisterStudios · 11-17-2006, 06:41 AM

I had a dual xeon server with 4 gb ram in it hit 85, i had to wait 5 minutes to even get a root prompt to check what the hell was going on.
