Can I restrict use of the processor by some programs?

I use FrostWire to share files through the web. FW is very intensive CPU: usually using 350 000 K or more. All other programs are seriously impeded and run very slowly. I constantly receive popups of Norton on the excessive CPU usage of FW.

Is it possible to limit the CPU usage for a particular program so that I can always use FW, but does not affect the rest of my open programs.

Yes you can do it.

Open the task (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) Manager.
Follow these steps:
If you are sure of the procedure, go to step 2.
1. on the Applications tab, right-click on the program and click go to process.
2. right click on the process and you can find a set of options. Click set affinity...
3. Select the CPU cores, that you must associate with the process, and then click Ok.
[Note: the exact number of processors may be different]
Click on Show processes from all users under the processes tab, if the process is not listed or requires administrator privileges.

  • Control / limiting the use of the processor

    Operating system is Windows XP PRO with SP3 installed; specific computer is HP 8100 Elite w / Intel I5 VPRO processor; 4 GB OF RAM.

    Are there options in Windows XP PRO, where the user can specify 'how' CPU usage is allowed, either by individual program or total usage?

    If so, where they are updated?

    I looked into different parts of logic; and can not find a way to do this.

    Thanks in advance for comments and suggestions.

    The use of the processor of the computer never seems to be "maximized" (rarely exceeds 30-50%) and I wonder if some setting somewhere preventing this use.

    I ran MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and ESET. and no malicious software is present.

    Another thing to consider is that if you have a quad or a dual-core CPU, a single task tends to operate on only one heart.  So if it takes 100% of the CPU on one of four cores, the CPU meter will result in a reading of 25%, assuming that the other cores are idle.

    Instead of the Windows Task Manager, you might want to try [freeware] Process Explorer.  It gives you much more information on what is happening in your computer.  Once you use it, you will never return to the Task Manager.

  • Determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface

    I want to determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface.  How can I do this?

    If I use a supermetric, there is no kind of attribute under CPU called "maximum use.

    Certainly, you get points for a long question! Although to be fair, it's probably my fault to feed you so much information to digest at once.

    1. I would say you can do two ways visually. Use the operations > detail view for 'normal ranges' use the upper limit of the normal range as your typical max. You want an absolute peak, add the metric of a graph or observe that highlight high and low watermarks.

    2. There are a lot of ways to display data, but if you want to display a single metric over a period of time, we could use the following widgets [on top of my head]:

    Top - N analysis

    Weather map

    Analysis of distribution of data

    Among these, I think of your desire for a "peak". Who you want real value, which eliminates the weather map. Then, I think that the concept of a 'Summit' and what is the best thing, I think that the 95th percentile... then I came with the widget of data distribution. The decision is ultimately yours given your particular use case.

    3. you can have it apply to several virtual machines - it's just a widget capable of being an independent provider or receiving widget (metrics, DO NOT choose to select resources). Each resource/metric will add to the widget and you can remove them if you like after it is added. You can certainly all the time you visit... It is date and time standard options you have in all the other widgets chart. With the widget data distribution, you want as much time as possible to get an accurate histogram of the cycles of workload.

    4. This is similar to the question above. You can certainly add parameters of individual resource or a DM that summarizes or AVG groups of resources. And as above, the delay is configurable, along with the other graph widgets.

    5. it's part of Q4 - you can sumN or avgN up to any number of resources with a SM, then discovers that SM in the widget of data distribution. When I said container, I mean an application, group resource pool... all that acts as a container parent within the vCOps.

    6. that's correct, SMs calc using data collected last points... aka single period of time. When you are referring to the longest period, I gave you a few examples of the attributes that are composed of several periods of time which are calculated and created by the adapter for VMware vCenter behvaior. In this case, you have the GVA 15 min CPU 1.5; These specific simple mobile GVA can be specific OR a copy using SMs. Next, you will have the chance is to find a way to distribute what you need through a widget [at that time].

    7. the distribution of data is not for export, it is for Visual functions. If you want the data in CSV, just use a typical chart of metrics and export to a csv and calc your own pics, avg, 95th, whatever.

    8. This is a bit of a mix of all your questions, put in place.

    You are right, if you added those 3 VMs, then calc was the 95th of the AVG. Like Q7, you would not export the data of the distribution of data because the raw data points are not - you do not pass the metric to a metric graphics standard and export via csv.

  • OfficeJet 4630: 4630 can print grayscale using only the black cartridge?

    I have purchased a printer 4630 and want to use it like I did my old PSC1350 - using only the black cartridge for all printing. I can't find any setting of grey for the 4630 that will allow for this. With the 1350, the grayscale setting would prevent any color ink cartridges is used, an unnecessary expense for printing in black on white paper.

    If there is no setting on the 4630 grey scale, can I be sure that black ink is used only for printing without color?

    Hello @clif9710!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    Your printer Officejet 4630 should be able to print in gray scale and the options should be in the window of the printer printing preferences.  I was able to locate a document regarding the changing settings in windows 7 print.

    If you do not get the options to print in gray scale you will need to uninstall the HP software, including the old software, restart the computer and re-install the HP Officejet 4630 software again.

    To uninstall the software HP click here: uninstall the HP software

    To download the HP software, click here: driver and software Officejet 4630

    Another good thing about the Officejet 4630 is that it allows to print mode single cartridge.  cartridges for your printer built in print heads which means that it requires no 2 print cartridges.  If you never use the Tricolor cartridge or you are planning on printing in black, you can remove the Tricolor cartridge, put the cap of the cartridge down and close the lid.  The printer should now say "mode single cartridge printing.  Once the printer is closed upwards, you can send your print job and it will print using only the black cartridge one!

    Thanks again for posting on the forums of HP and post back and let me know how it goes!

  • Very heavy use of the processor because werfault.exe

    My machine is extremely slow due to werfault.exe.  Manager tasks shows the use of the CPU to 100% all the time.  The processes tab shows 2-3 instances of werfault.exe using all of the CPU resources.  This continues indefinitely and a reboot does not fix it.  The only way I could do my usable computer is by stopping the Windows error reporting service.  However, I fear that this eliminates simply a symptom and not the underlying problem.

    I also met the very high disk activity.  I disable 'Run on a calendar' in the fragmenteur disk (after I did a full defragmentation) and I've also eliminated Super Fetch.  He did reduce significantly the disk activity, but there are always times when the hard drive is busy and I see no reason for this.

    You go to 'Services' to disable werfault.exe.  Click on the Windows button or what it is called in Vista (the thing that replaced the 'Start' button in XP).  Enter 'Admin Tools' in the search box.  Right click on "Services" and then click "Run as Administrator".  After that 'Services' opens, search for "Windows Error Reporting Service".  Double-click it, and then you can stop it and turn it off.

    I'm not having any luck with either.  Now as I type this, there are 2 instances of werfault.exe race and each consuming more than 40% usage.  "Problem reports" and Solutions show nothing.

    It started shortly after I had installed Vista.  I had finished not even install all applications - perhaps began after installing SP2.

    I think that I will reinstall Vista.  If the problem comes back, I'll have to go back to XP.

  • PC worked 100% use of the processor from the beginning

    For awhile now, my PC worked 100% boot CPU usage, die down for ~ 50% to65% after about an hour, give or take. I have hunted high usage a bit of svchost.exe running these services: application, information from application, transfer of int background experience, client strategy group, IKEE + auth ip, sharing, support IP, multimedia class, remote access, system event notification connection Planner, Scheduler tasks, themes, user profile system service & windows of Internet management.

    OT:svchost.exe
    If I stop the responsible svchost.exe strand, it goes up to level 50-65%, for some time and reappears, but if I stopped him once or twice more, he no longer appears, and the CPU usage will eventually pass to the 5% below normal for when I brought my PC.
    I wouldn't mind knowing three things: 1) is safe, 2) is permitted using the internet after using the method above and 3) is there a permanent solution?

    Hi Isabelle,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

    When you run programs, the CPU usage reaches 100 percent. When using the processor reaches 100 percent, programs run slowly or stop responding (hang).

    I suggest you to run the fixit from the following link:

  • How to get to each use of the processor core using the powershell cmdlets?

    Can get stat used to get all the cpu cores use separately?

    Thank you

    Of course, the cmdlet Get-Stat can, in addition to the real time statistics, also retrieve the metrics for each of the 4 historical intervals.

  • e/s logical and physical i/o with regard to the use of the processor

    Hi guys,.

    I understand that

    LIO = logical cache buffers. LIO peut incurred a PIO in order to get in the first place in the cache.

    PIO = physical disk read

    I understand that the physical i/o reads disc causing increase of disk IO and translate into long elapsed time.

    My question is if pure LIOs (read data detected in the cache, memory) or physical IOs will consume more cpu?

    I'm just curious about whether an increase in cpu high ulization is due to the high number of physical i/o, maybe due to lack of ram allocated to the db or more to the high number of pure LIOs (memory enough to cache the data, very less PIO).

    Thank you

    It is not either / or.

    The call for an e/s also requires the use of the cpu. So an IOP will use more cpu, but it will be spread over a longer time waiting for i/o. between the copy of things about the SGA and all locks and mutexes involved, it becomes a complex interaction. So the best approach is simply to minimize LIO, since this will drive pio sometimes, and with all the other current stuff, it is often the largest amount of work to reduce. Then, if you do not see the paradoxical effects of modification of the allocation of bottlenecks, you can work on those if you need to.

    Remember, the copy to give you your own copy of block for the lio and all the other stuff takes cpu.

When I check the server I see, that ora_s001 use a processor Core with 90 to 100%. Is there a way to know the reason for the high CPU load? I'm not very adept at finding bottlenecks or bad sql statements. What I found ist, that some users have very high logical_io and the same users have much cpu_usage.

    What can I do next? Thanks for the tips.

    You must Server multi-user shared for this number of sessions. The main objective os using MTS is reducing the memory usage on the server for the UGA and PGA of sessions.

    About the CPU usage, you must session which uses this server shared at the time, with process $ v and v$ session to trace. From there, check the SQL_ID running and then get his stats. This is probably one or two SQLs with large number of I/o logic. This happens most of the time due to incorrect cardinality estimates and/or bad statistics on the subject which causes suboptimal plans to generate.
