CPU Load stays 100%

Question

Hello,
im running into a problem with the FMS blocking our FMS
server with 100% CPU load.
the scenario:
- We use the FMS only for chatting and NOT for streaming.
- Server is ~ AMD X2 5600 / 2GB / Gentoo
- We have peaks with a lot of people chatting simultaniously
in "rooms" with
up to 50 people in the same room.
at around 1500/2000 simultanious chat connections the server
reaches its limits
it goes up to 100% CPU use and now the problem starts:
The server never again uses less then the 100% cpu unless you
manually restart
the application. Even if the connections drop again to lets
say 100 connections
the CPU hangs at 100%.
Did anyone experience this problem aswell? Is there a
workaround that the server
recovers after too many connections? what could be the
problem (besides the many connections)?
And one more questions that i have:
There will be certainly way more then 2000 simultanious Chats
that we have to handle.
Is there a way to have chats / shared objects deployed
transparent over multiple FMS instances?
meening does the FMS scale in a way that conected clients are
visible over multiple
fms instances / servers?
Thank you - Stephan

Answer 1

Since there are 3 heat sinks that I can see , I was asking if anyone knew where the temperature reading is coming from.
1) The blue heat sink with letter "Military Class 3" next to the CPU
2) The blue heat sink with letter "OC Genie II"  next to the CPU
3) The blue heatsink with letter "msi" located next to pci express slot
Because #1 and #2 are next to the CPU cooler, which should be forcing air around them,  I am suspecting maybe the reading is from #3.
Old MSI boards had sensors for Northbridge and Southbridge, but the new ones, I am not sure where the reading is coming from.
====
Update: I've confirmed the reading is most likely from the "msi" heat sink... By directing more cool  air toward that area, the  motherboard temperature has dropped to about 34 to 35C.
====
Anyway the following are reading from various different software before the change in air flow toward the "msi" heat sink:
CPUID Hardware Monitor:
TZ00 => 28 C - never changes
TZ01 => 30 C - never changes
TMPIN0 => CPU temp: varies from 31 to 65
TMPIN1 => Motherboard temp: slowly rises upto 40 C
Open Hardware Monitor
Temperature #1 => CPU temp: varies from 31 to 65 C
Temperature #3 => MB temp: slowly rises upto 40 C
AIDA64 Extreme
Motherboard => slowly rises upto 40C
CPU => varies from 31 to 65 C
