Multi cores for Icecast
inetactief opened this issue · comments
Hi,
How can use multi cores for Icecast? Now we see one proc using one core.
Best regards,
Michel
Icecast is multi-threaded. If run on a machine with multiple cores its threads should utilize them. Some threads do more than others though, so load will most likely not spread evenly. In most usage scenarios you will run out of network bandwidth before CPU usage becomes relevant.
Should you have questions about Icecast setup, we recommend to join the Icecast users mailing list:

After signing up you can send your questions to icecast@xiph.org and will receive answers by email.
From this point of view how tuning for example FreeBSD/Debian to force icecast2 utilizing multiple cores in multi-CPU systems (2/4/6 CPUs) ? Thank You!
P.S. Is this more linked to "BIOS-motherboard-CPU" or "CPU-operating system" chain ?
