VPS specs?

[erichon]

Hi

I wonder how the bot is programmed according resources. Is this correct:
The more cores, the more instances you can run and the more RAM the more accounts ?

thx

Not really.

Each instance has a limit of 2gb memory it can use due to being 32bit due to reliance on some 32 bit libraries

So you can have as many instances as your memory allows.

However after about 20+ your OS will probably run out of GUI handles.


Cores just relates to how many things can the CPUs do at any one time, although with swapping jobs in and out it will be able to multi thread fast enough you "think" it is don't 100s of things at once - but it isn't. you can only actually do concurrently the number of cpus / cores you have

[erichon]

Just to be sure I understand what you are saying:

So instances consume RAM, and tasks processed like "following" for example consume CPU. So actually concerning CPU resources, it does not really matter how many instances perform the tasks, but it is the sum of ALL tasks that are performed across all instances that consume the CPU? Is this correct?
thx

ram is memory, so anything that has to remember something uses ram (everything uses ram, the more you do the more you use)

CPU does things with the ram, so in ram you have 2 numbers. The CPU can add those two numbers.

tbh if you want to understand RAM and CPU, google it, it will explain it better than I can



Basically, more actions more ram more cpu
more accounts - more ram
more threads, more cpu

thx - now it is more or less clear.
My specs: 6 cores 2.20 GHz, 30 GB RAM

so I was thinking how to organize instances and accounts best to get out more of the specs.

Provided every account follows 150 users a day from lists:

Is it better to run more instances with fewer accounts OR less instances with many accounts

i.e:
10 instances each 20 accounts OR 1 instance 200 accounts?

[martin@rootjazz]

probably easier to manage few instances in regards to updating the program IMO.

the program should handle 200 accounts fine.

But if you have diverse niches from adult to kids toys, you may want to separate the accounts to avoid occidentally using the wrong accounts
