    One day I left my server with my stoner pal and when I came back it was higher than a kite!

    I once took a server blade on a plane. It was high as fuck.

    My computer's been to ~30,000 feet, but nothing like these space trippers...

    So to be less of an ass to the OP...I once admin'd a server that routinely had a load > 100, but that was fine because it had 128 cores. (Not that it was "mine" - it was my employer's).

    Somebody ran a dumb bash script on one of our web servers the other day that took the load to 150+ . . .

  • cassacassa Member

    I had a wordpress install get hacked and it started some process that ran the load up above 250!

    I think around 540 is the highest load I've actually witnessed first hand. Of course, it's all pretty relative to the system in front of you.

    I'm intensely disappointed that googling for "Load Average World Record" does not return the same.

    There should be some sort of absolute record - regardless of number of CPUs, etc., what is the all-time high that has ever been seen on any Unix-based system anywhere?

    i think way back when i wrote a crazy script in php4 that was doing data aggation outside of mysql and it got the load of a single core server to 1240.

    I'm going to put a ton of pr0n onto my Plex server, try watching multiple videos at once and see how high my load goes...

    Maybe LET users will create this records.
