Instead of a hard contract, they are a suggestion of preferred CPU cores. However, you may instead want to use the CPU Sets feature, a weaker form of CPU affinity, since it does not have these multi-group restrictions.ĬPU Sets, a native Windows feature, are a ‘softer’ form of CPU Affinities. Process Lasso will do this automatically if you create a persistent CPU affinity rule. Process Lasso will make a best effort to move threads to your chosen CPU affinity, but new threads of a process won’t be constrained to the desired CPU affinity without continuous reapplication of the affinity. Multi-group (>64 logical CPU cores) processes have system restrictions on CPU affinities. User should also sett the CPU Sets feature, a softer form of CPU affinities that also support multiple processor groups. If you want to instead dynamically reduce the set of CPU cores a process has access to, try the CPU Limiter. This is useful to limit max CPU consumption of a process, or to optimize which CPU cores are dedicated to specific apps, games or services. Its threads will only be scheduled to that set of CPUs. Menu path: ‘Options / CPU / CPU Affinities …’ĬPU Affinities control which CPU cores a process is allowed to use.Priority classes available in Windows are: This is what ProBalance does automatically. Instead, it is recommended to target problematic background processes with Below Normal and Idle priority classes to limit their impact on performance sensitive applications. Note that use of above-normal priority classes is generally ineffectual at improving performance (it won’t make an app go faster). Persistent CPU Priority Classes are available to keep applications running at specific priorities. Menu path: ‘Options / CPU / CPU Priorities …’.Explore them for yourself! Process context menu Priority Classes More… Process Lasso contains numerous other features and functions. Multi-select Operations Perform an operation like terminate on multiple processes at once! Advanced Watchdog Rules Create advanced rules to perform a specified action when matched process(es) reach a certain threshold of resource consumption or other criteria. System Timer Resolution Adjust and persist the system timer resolution in up to 0.5ms increments. Foreground Boosting Dynamically increase the priority of the application that has input focus. Disable Hyper-Threading or SMT Dynamically disable Hyper-Threading or SMT on a per-process basis. Power Plan Automation Switch power plans while idle ( IdleSaver), or when specified process(es) are found running, or by a manual timer (Keep Awake), etc… Prevent Sleep (Keep Awake) Process Lasso can prevent your PC from sleeping for a specified amount of time, or when select processes are running. IdleSaver Conserve energy when your PC is idle by switching to a more frugal power plan. Keep Running Automatically restart select processes when they terminate. (coming in v12.3, now in beta) Disallowed Processes Immediately terminate any matched process, by your criteria. Efficiency Mode – NEW! Set and persist per-process Efficiency Mode settings. Priority Classes Set persistent CPU, I/O, and memory priorities so that processes run at the desired priorities every time they launch. CPU Sets A ‘softer’ form of CPU Affinities that are more like preferred cores. Process Lasso’s automation capabilities include: CPU Affinities Set persistent CPU affinities so that processes run on the desired set of CPUs every time they launch. Wildcards are accepted in most rules, along with Regular Expressions for more complex matching. These are some of the many automation capabilities of Process Lasso! Take control of your PC through your own manual rules, or let Process Lasso’s automated algorithms do it for you.
