Great, then I do not have to do anything.
Xilikon, you have to run it as Administrator to control processes running under the same user account? If you want to control system processes or programs running under a different account, then it is normal to require Administrator privileges.

The 32-bit version is not supposed to handle 64-bit processes, but the 64-bit one should be able to handle 32-bit processes. Now, I did not try anything under Windows 7, so maybe you can run a few tests. Just to make sure, are you running the GPU client under the same user name as WinAFC, or under a...

Just a note to let you know that I uploaded version 0.9.2 which adds support for realtime priorities. The user must first tick a checkbox in the general settings dialog box to enable their use. After that, just specify "priority=realtime" as part of an application profile. Until today I di...

I do not check for any particular program name. The user specifies the name of the process for which to set affinity/priority. But I assume you mean to check if the request is for a vmware-vmx.exe process? I do not see the processes running inside the VM machine, only the actual VM process. I could ...

While I agree with Bruce's general message, I'm thinking now that it is the user's choice and responsibility to use it or not, so I will most likely add it. Perhaps with a flag that must be checked first in the settings dialog box. Adding the realtime setting is not going to take long. But I am trav...

Edit: is it the good one: E:\F@H-SMP\FahCore_*.exe := PAIR0::CPU1+PAIR1+PAIR0::CPU0 [assign=1,resource=MEMUSE,policy=PSEUDOBALANCED] If you use only one SMP client, then yes, I think that would be optimal. You cannot do better than having one process per core. In addition, that rule balances the us...

All controls on that tab have a checkbox on the right. Check that checkbox if you want to make the current value of the control the default. A default value will be restored next time you restart WinAFC. Otherwise, the value will take effect only during current session, but the default value is not ...

Just a note to let you know that I released version 0.9.1 of WinAFC. This version fixes the two severe bugs reported in the last few days and adds a "Settings" dialog box to adjust default options and other parameters from within a GUI. Download link: https://sourceforge.net/project/platfo...

Hi Nosmo, So it detects the 4 PAIRs for you. Great and thanks for the report. TestMode = 0 WarningLevel = 2 ConsoleLogLevel = 4 FileLogLevel = 3 LogLevel = 3 TimeInterval = 30 First, just a small correction. LogLevel is just a shorter way of changing the verbosity of both console and file logging. S...

It can be implemented, it is no different than the other priorities. My philosophy is not to double guess the user (or do it as little as possible), but I did not include the realtime option intentionally because it can lead to unresponsive systems. Especially with the folding clients I think that i...

I used a linker flag that said to merge the .text and .data sections. This was shaving a few KB off the executable. But it had the effect that there was no .text section and the code was in the .data section (the merged section had to be writable because it contained data). But some Windows versions...

Very potent tool you have here, but I'm having a little trouble with it. I'm running Vista64 Ultimate, UAC enabled. The problems occur with starting it as Admin and without admin rights. First of all the 64 version just dies right on the spot, without anything happening, just the Windows error wind...

I'm having a little problem. I don't know why, but sometimes explorer.exe's CPU usage goes up, not a 100% but more than it should be and I have to close it through task manager and rerun it again. When it redraws the icons in the taskbar, WinAFC's icon doesn't get redrawn. So to use the menus I hav...

Glad to see the issue resolved even before I could notice it.

I already changed the program to print a message when it is running in TestMode (at the suggestion of another user), so it will be easier for new users to understand why no affinities are being changed.

This script relocates more processes than the first one but it gives me errors. I added the 2 lines for Comodo Firewall as either ALL or SKIP, but the console still throws errors at me : 11/8/2008 13:47:58 PM: WARNING ApplicationProfile::setAffinityForProcess: Failed to get a handler of process cmd...
