CPU interrupts

[NOlss]

Hi,

How many interrupts, maximum, can an CPU from Intel handle? I'm using an Xeon E5-2407 v2 in a server, storing media-streams 24/7 I can see that the number of interrups is really getting high;

Overall Counter Instance StatisticsCondition\Processor(_Total)\Interrupts/secMinAvgMaxHourly TrendStd Deviation10% of Outliers Removed20% of Outliers Removed30% of Outliers RemovedHigh number of interrupts/sRAID/_Total24,87837,06261,967-23,76336,31035,72235,169

Can't find anything about this in the specs for the CPU but PAL v2 is recommending max 5000 int/sec and I'm really over that value.

Cheers,

Niclas

The number of interrupts should be not so high. It reduces the computing power of your server. I really don´t know, how many interrupts a CPU or OS can handle.
