Intelligently utilizing your CPU cores
Nikhil Rastogi, Jul 27, 2008 1000 hrs IST
Take control over which process ought to be assigned to which core with Process Lasso.
Choosing your cores
If you want to assign a CPU core to a specific task, you need to open the program first. Now you can assign which process/program should use what core. Of course by default all processes use whichever core is available, but you can set a heavy CPU task to only the second core and explorer.exe to the first core only. To do so, just click off the CPU # of the process that you don't want to use. The main advantage here over Windows Task Manager Process Lasso remembers the setting even after a restart. Neat huh!
Process Restraint
The goal is to improve system responsiveness and this can easily be achieved with Process Lasso's internal Process Restraint setting. What this does is, it restraints the process trying to hog more than the allotted limit of the system resources if another process at the same time needs CPU cycles therefore allowing better system responsiveness. Process restraint is confused a lot, please read the "How Does Process Lasso's Restraint Work?" which will help you understand it better in a non-technical way.
Wonderfully you have the option of editing Out-of-control Restraint settings that it permits by providing exceptions and setting the overall percentage value to trigger restraint setting.
Whitelist/Blacklist
You can gain further control over the processes by using whitelisting/blacklisting processes; even wildcards work here. This is prefect as a precaution for blocking dangerous spyware/viruses.
