CCP Veritas, accompanied by CCP Red Button from Virtual World Operations, have a new blog out which although born from looking at graphs after the recent dev bash in Tama, paints a much bigger picture about the current state of the server and the strides we have taken in the past year to improve server performance. May 2012 bring us even further into the future! It probably will you know.

Anyway! Here's the blog, and don't forget to tell Veritas and Red Button how much you love them.

Wow, the mention of client-side performance enhancements is really interesting and exciting. I have always been puzzled at Eve's scaling problems; how it performs so well on even lowly hardware but suddenly falls to it's knees when there is a large fleet on the field. I always imagined it'd be as simple as loading simpler ship models/lower resolution textures when there are many ships on screen.... but it's never as simple as we think!

Thanks and great devblog Smile

C'mon CCP, don't be so secretive: The CPUs in use are Intel Xeon X5698 - Six Core CPUs with only 2 cores enabled, especially designed for the High Frequency Traders on Wall str. Twisted

As long as FTC is considering to ban any HFT, Intel & IBM will have to put those CPUs to some better use Lol

Anyway, good job, good achievement, but I hope you will not give up on the idea of researching/developing multi-threaded server code as a long-term solution?

P.S. Optimizing the client is always a good idea :-)
