For Dually Eyes ONLY!

For those that run dual CPU systems, I ran across a program that claims to allow you to set which CPU gets a certain thread. It'd be great for DC programs so you can dedicate 1 FULL CPU to your chosen Project and let windows share the other CPU with your other instance of the DC app

Clips from the description:
*"SMP Seesaw is a small utility for dual-CPU workstations that allows the user to finely tune how Windows balances the processing load between the two CPUs"
*"...it is sometimes useful to dedicate an entire CPU to only one or two processes to get maximum performance from them - single-threaded games, software-based DVD playback..."

Here is the LINK

The guy has some other interesting software too.

Got the link from a [ H ]ardware site I haven't used it ...yet... but it looks pretty easy to use.

Very interesting...

Now how did he know I was going to take a look.

Oh, bah! I thought it might be something useful like setting affinity in Linux.

CADkindaGUY, interesting read, even though I'm a non-dually user

You know, there's a kernel patch for that. it's in the kernel/people/rml directory of pretty much any kernel.org mirror. Although I have not yet tried it (have yet to scrape up $150 for dual XP1800's ), it sounds promising.

I've got a dual PPro 180@200mhz, so I looked.

It's interesting, but I balance the load (ie: 100% maxed on each CPU ) by running six DC clients on my duallie XP-1800 box
