Assign Core Affinity To Applications With Core Affinity Resident
Most of the computers that are available today come with multi-core processors. And if you have multi-core processors you can assign core affinity to a running program by opening task manager.
For example, when you assign a single core for an application, the application will utilise only one core. But the problem with Windows affinity feature is that it will not remember your preferences in the feature. That is, you need to assign core affinity every time you run an application. To avoid this tedious task, here is a simple utility called CoreAffinityResident.
CoreAffinityResident is a portable utility for Windows 7 and Vista that allows you assign core affinity to all running applications with a few clicks. Once you download and run this utility, an icon will be placed in system tray area. Clicking on the CoreAffinityResident system tray icon will bring list of running applications.
Once your target application is selected, its core affinity will be shown. Now proceed to check or uncheck the desired cores and then push ‘Save’. Now your software will use only the cores you want to, and will remember your preferences in the future.
