Process processor affinity

[WyldeCarde]

Hi all

I am shortly going to get a Quad core CPU. I know that you can set the processor affinity to restrict a process to run on certain cores. However when you reboot, these flags are cleared.

How can you force a process to always have an affinities to a specific core?

Thanks in advance

Apparently the utility you can download from this Tom's Hardware page allows you to do it.

There is some information here, it is not something I have ever tried, see if it is relevant to your problem. It does talk about Command Line and Reg Settings, if they are workable, maybe you could use a Batch file or Logon Script?

Thankyou kindly, I think the utility from Tom's looks good.

As a word of warning we had a god awful piece of software running at my old work, which didn't work properly in a multi core system. They issued a "fix" which ran one program first which set the affinity of the explorer.exe proces to CPU 0. Since Processor affinity is passed on from a parent process to child processes, all programs launched after that ran on CPU 0. Fixed their problem though, idiots.

thanks for the pointers guys
