![]() Product installation was also streamlined in this release. E-cores are demarcated by an ‘E’ appendage to the CPU indices in applicable dialogs and menus.Īlder Lake Efficiency (E) Cores Streamlined Install This change required some adaptations of Process Lasso, and that is now complete. The P-cores are Hyper-Threaded, the E-cores are not. Intel 12 th Gen (Alder Lake) CPUs diverged from traditional PC CPU chip topology with their P+E hybrid design, offering a combination of Performance (P) and Efficiency (E) cores. Persistent (Sticky) CPU Sets are fully supported by Process Lasso. Many users will find CPU Sets an ideal method to disable E-cores for select applications.įor systems with more than 64 logical CPU cores, CPU Sets are also processor group aware, and a process’s CPU Sets may span multiple processor groups. On Intel 12 th Gen CPUs (Alder Lake), CPU Sets can be used to signal the OS to only utilize Performance (P) or Efficient (E) cores, or some mix of each, for a process. In these cases, CPU Sets are a viable alternative since they are less likely to cause complications. Some apps and games are sensitive to CPU Affinity changes. For hard limits on CPU consumption, traditional CPU Affinities should be used. Therefore, for performance tuning, CPU Sets are usually preferred. In contrast, a CPU Affinity can not be violated, so the process’s compute would be limited. If a process with a CPU Sets rule needs more CPU(s) to handle its thread load, the OS can schedule onto CPUs outside the assigned Sets. This may be necessary when the thread load exceeds the number of cores in the Set, or for power management reasons.ĬPU Sets give the OS thread scheduler more flexibility than CPU Affinities do. The OS will try to abide by a CPU Set, but has discretion to schedule outside the Set. Instead of a hard contract, they are a suggestion of preferred CPU cores. It is amazing how much developers are charged, but that is a story for another day.CPU Sets, a native Windows feature, are a ‘softer’ form of CPU Affinities. ![]() Digital signing, your own storefront and licensing, MSDN subscription, and so much more. ![]() Why not just go 100% freeware? Because developing Windows software is perhaps the most expensive common OS ecosystem to develop for. That said, now is the time to buy if you want the best deal, or want to support the project, and we very much appreciate that! *IF* we ever restrict features, it will be like Process Lasso, only those on the fringes. For this first release, we just wanted to show off our technology. That may change going forward with certain feature restrictions or such. That includes a sliding aggressiveness scale, an easy access system tray icon, and a newer ‘core technology’ than is available in Process Lasso, since it has a slightly longer development cycle due to its greater number of features.Īt present, nothing except your name. CPUBalance is near-Freeware (Freemium) that contains ProBalance, Bitsum’s proven and real-world demonstrable technology to retain system responsiveness during high loads, or even save you from a hard reset during a worst-case scenario.ĬPUBalance is unique in that it can either run independent of Process Lasso, or along-side Process Lasso, offering extended functionality over the ‘base’ ProBalance algorithm.
