CPU Governance

Your server has a concept of CPU governance, which controls how the CPU manages its frequency and power consumption. There are several governor modes available, each with different characteristics.

Recommended Configuration

For game servers, it is strongly recommended to set the CPU governor to performance to ensure consistent, low-latency performance.

Ubuntu/Debian Configuration

If you're using Ubuntu or Debian, you can install cpufrequtils and configure the governor:

   apt update
   apt install cpufrequtils
   echo 'GOVERNOR="performance"' | sudo tee /etc/default/cpufrequtils
   systemctl restart cpufrequtils

Verification

To verify your current CPU governor settings:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
