Perhaps my deffinition of multi-threaded is skewed/wrong...
I've got asterisk HEAD running on a 4 proc machine.
I'm using top as my guide (and yes I know top sucks, but what else do I
use?).
I just watched asterisk hit 63% cpu usage for about 5 seconds. There
were 5/5 G729 licenses in use and 6 calls up during those 5 seconds.
CPU #2 had an idle of 39% and CPU #3 had 98%. CPU's #1 and #4 were both
100% idle.
This kinda tells me that our max number of calls we can handle is about
10-15? That doesn't seem right. That's not even a full T1.
I'm running an SMP kernel and asterisk is suposedly multi-threaded so
why isn't the load being shared better across the procs?
Is there some compiler flag I missed to make asterisk "better" for
multi-procs?
We want to be able to put in a quad span card but it seems asterisk
can't even handle a single span at this rate.
Ideas? Comments?
Thanks,
Matthew
