CPU Affinity
There seem to be many ways to set CPU affinity, some permanent and some
transient. I have a dual core processor and consistently run several concurrent processes all of which are CPU intensive. After rebooting my system and starting these processes the affinity of these processes is set to CPU 0. This behavior leads me to several questions: A) If the affinity of a process to only one processor does that mean that it will only run on that processor? B) If "A" is true, is that a proper default or have I done something to foul things up? C) With a multicore processor is there an optimal CPU affinity strategy and, if such a strategy exists, how can Windows be cajoled to employ it consistantly? I really hate to see one core fully saturated and the other unused. |
