What is multitheaded in mcserver ?

[VanDer]

Hi,

I would like to have a small brief on what is multithreaded in MCserver ?
Is it build to share the cpu load on each cores ? How many theards runs, and what are they doing.

I'am interrested by a big sever with a lot a players (+150) I would like to know if it will be possible .

PS : SSE instructions supported ?

Threads per client:

1. Data receiving, packet parsing and packet handling
   
2. Packet sending
   

Other threads:

1. Listening for connections
   
2. Tick thread (game logic)
   
3. WebAdmin thread
   

The game logic is done in a single thread, so there's not much load sharing, except for the packet parsing.

There's not much to use SSE for, do you know how to program SSE/SIMD? It's very difficult.
