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.

  • Control PCLK when using the PXI-6534 in e/s mode

    I use ports 0 & 1 on the PXI-6534 in e/s model mode and also use output control in the mode of e/s to unstrobed for simple.  Users manual says in the mode of e/s model the PCLK control is not used, but the mode of e/s model seems to put down (or maybe he defines as an entry).  This a problem for me because I expect to PCLK to stay a high return which I set earlier.  Does anyone know how to set up the PXI-6534 in e/s model mode so that this does not affect PCLK... He's going to stay high?

    Thank you.

    Hi Jim,.

    According to page 2 and 3 of the PXI-6534 user manual, if you configure a group to perform i/o, associated for this group synchronization control lines are not available in the form of additional data lines. The knowledge base, here, explains this limitation for the PXI-6534. In summary, port 4 is reserved once you are in e/s handshaking mode or a model and cannot be used as data lines additional unstrobed.

  • MacBook Pro random high utilization of the processor (iCoreService/DCAManager using + 400% CPU?)

    Hello

    I'm running an Early 2011 Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 with a 2.2 GHZ Quad Core i7 processor 1 TB Samsung 840 EVO SSD and 16 GB of RAM Crucial. I noticed for about a month, I'm going to do a simple task or two on my Mac, then all of a sudden I noticed spikes CPU temporary, 90 + degrees C and the kick of fans trying to cool high speed. Well, I don't know why this is happening when I do nothing to justify a high utilization of the processor. I'm used to the CPU running hot when I do something intensive graphic as running Autodesk Inventor CAD software, run a machine virtual or even watch a 1080 p @ 60 fps video on youtube (it is the lowest resolution that requires the Mac switch to the dedicated AMD Radeon 6750 M GPU that usually eventually warm it quickly) , but this use high random that happens when I have Mail open in the background, and one tab open with a 720 p @ 30 fps video Youtube open (or even less). I took a few screenshots of the activity Manager indicating the best processes and Intel Power Gadget indicating the temperature of the CPU:

    Does anyone know what are iCoreService and/or DCAManager and why they use so much of my CPU when this happens? And someone has encountered this weird behavior before? Thanks in advance!

    The most likely cause is an applicztion you have running that is corrupt and forcing them to use the CPU too. Were you able to kill the process in activity monitor? If you have not yet tried to do, so I'll try that first. I would also try to quit all open applications.

    If you start the computer in Safe Mode , you can test if the problem is still there. If it isn't, usually means something that is managed by you start-up or an application that you use may be the cause.

  • Question about the temperature of the processor and the use of Vista on Satellite Pro M70

    Hello

    I have Satellite Pro M70-113 and it has Intel mobile Pentium 1.86 GHz CPU.
    The problem is that its normal temperature is 80 degrees Celsius... while I use the browser and other common programs...
    and recently it automatically shut off twice and pressing the button works / stop won't turn on... when I unplugged, replugged the power cord so I could only turn it on...

    And while playing games, it would of course go above 100 degrees...

    So you know what is the max temp through which the CPU can go without stop or damage the CPU or surrounding a circuit?
    I know that when I bought this laptop about 2 years back... it was not warm this...

    And by the way this laptop came with WXP Pro preinstalled and doesn't show any vista capable logo (because at the time, there was no such promotion of Microsoft, as it was the year 2005, Nov).

    Now, I use vista and upgraded to 1 GB of RAM and I have no problem using the Vista pc.

    Secondly, I did not update my BIOS to version the most recent is available.

    Although I'd love to have updated the BIOS but I worry about the bad flashing and says BIOS driver update page that the version of the BIOS doesn't support vista - whatever that means? If I go back to Windows XP Home edition after installing the BIOS for vista, the pc will not be usable for WXP or what?

    Is there any link to the processor heats to the old version of the BIOS, I'm still using... will update BIOS facilitated the temperature?

    Please answer.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Wow, you have a lot of questions. :) If I was sort of a support guy to it all with such question much. ;)

    No, I'm kidding; with regard to your questions:

    First of all you must clean your CPU cooling with compressed air, because if the breakdown is clobbed with dust and then it s just logical that your processor is a little bit more 'hot' then 2 years before.

    The max temp is available on the website of intel. I think that the section is called "intel spec finder" or something similar.
    With Vista and bios: you need to update your bios, since then some improvements are making more compatible bios for vista.
    But don t worry, XP won´t be unusable if you update your bios, the bios-update brings improvements for vista, but does not degrade anything about XP.

    If the bios update will solve this temporary problem is not clearly, rather a cleaning as I told you will be better.

    The existing processor is Quad core maximum that you can use.  Your only choice is the Core 2 Duo E6700 or E6850:

  • 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.

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

    REDA

    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.

  • using the remote control of the DVD does not select the correct buttons?

    Hey Ya'll,

    Project is almost complete, but I ran into one, which I think is a very simple problem...

    On my main menu, I have a total of 5 buttons on 2 rows.

    Line 1 to 2 buttons and Row 2 has 3 buttons.

    The links are correct, because they work fine in preview mode, using the mouse, but also view the version on the pc using Cyberlink DVD Viewer, once again, using the mouse to select the button.

    The problem is when you use the remote control, either on the copy engraved in the DVD player, or in preview mode, if I use the directional buttons of remote controls, that he does not want to go to the buttons I suppose it must

    (Top row left to right, then down row from left to right)

    On each of the properties of the buttons Panel, I chose the right (I guess) option number (just below name) for each button... IE top left set the right value top of page 1, 2, bottom left 3, the middle value 4 downstairs and down to the right the value 5.

    Type is set to Normal, the button name and Synch text is checked (although the No button is real, each is just a Word text, in photoshop, when I did originally the menu..)

    Also the low middle button never gets selected with the remote control of the DVD... Preview, using the buttons on the remote control, he finally gets selected, but it takes a bit of comes and goes, and the highlighted button is rarely what you would expect, since direction button your pushing.

    #1 button (top left) is set to the default button, which I want, but do not know how I set that, unless it's because it was the first button, I myself made/converted to the button)

    Here, any help would be greatly appreciated... that should finish this project!

    CB

    Cowboy Bob,

    No, what you did with the binder is actually linking these buttons to the assets.

    It shows a Menu with several buttons, icon manually road buttons depressed. Once you choose manually the buttons of road, they can change exactly what will make the remote control.

    As said, when you create a Menu, buttons start at # 1 and progress upward. Each Layer Set button plus up in the Layers Palette. This is the routing of the buttons Auto gets its information and it usually works. However, if you move the buttons around, removes some, etc., the en can get confused, manually their routing is the best way to go.

    Good luck and we hope this helps,

  • Using a control of the chain with the Enter key, return * and * allowing repeated identical entry

    Hi all

    There must be a simple solution for this, but it's Friday afternoon, and my brain is not cooperating.

    I create a simple terminal through which a user can interact with an instrument. My question is about the only query string control. The button send and the Terminal Table are here for reference.

    Here is my desired behavior:

    (a) the user types a command in the field of the query, tape input or return. An event is triggered, and the request is sent to the instrument. The focus remains on the field in the query.

    (b) with any other action the interface user, the user types Enter or return again and again, by triggering an event that sends the request to the instrument every time Enter or return is typed. The focus remains on the field in the query.

    Here's what I have:

    This allows for one), but fails to b). The reason is, because the value of the field in the query has not changed, change value event does not fire when the user starts to spam keys enter or return. There is a way around this, as suggested by this post. Here is the solution in a few words:

    Instead of looking for the change in the value of the query command, the event fires for each key event to the bottom of the control and resembles a pressure of enter key or return. What attracts the user action, even if the content of the field of the request have not changed. The problem with this approach is that, when this event fires, I need to read the value of the query string order and send it to the instrument, but the value I get via the local Variable query is the old value, probably because the key down event fires before the value of query is saved as changed. Is there a way to programatically "enter" the contents of the control channel so it is recorded as a change in value, until I have the question via a local Variable? Is there a different way I should go about it? I'd rather not do anything that bound the input keys or return to this particular area, since I have many other UI elements that need these keys in my program.

    If not, is there a way to make the control of the fire 'Change of value' query string event when the user presses enter or return even if the value has not changed?

    Thank you for your comments!

    I thought about it.

    (1) control of the string (query) a value of update while typing.

    (2) save the key event down to the control of the chain. If the entry or return was pressed, send the state machine to the State 'send request '.

    (3) in the application 'send' State read control channel via the local Variable value.

    This is the desired behavior to allow the user repeatedly hit entry or return to regularly send a command, and the user can also type in a new order and send it by pressing enter or return.

    Thanks to all who have helped me this something to think about!

  • Outsourcing of the controls on the front panel for a panel floating Subvi

    Hello!

    I already found a few similar topics, but I still don't know which is the best way to solve my problem. I will try to describe my problem in detail first: I have a main VI that acquires data from a device and displays these data in a large waveform graph. I have also a few controls on the front panel to control my device. First, I placed all of these device controls (digital, sliders, etc.) as well as the chart inside the front of my main VI. However, due to limited screen space now I would like to make the largest possible graph and so decided to "outsource" some controls out of the main façade of VI to several panels front-end Subvi.

    I would then press a button in my main VI and it would open the Panel before the floating of the Sub - VI corresponding with outsourced controls when required. However, everything must be absolutely transparent. It is important that floating panels to run in parallel with my main VI, that is the main VI must continue to operate. That way I'll have my data constantly updated in the chart in my main VI while I can change some settings of the device through the controls placed in my SubVIs. These changes will be immediately applied (for example as soon as the main VI calls this slot - VI in its main loop).

    It is important to the visibility of the outsourced optional control panel, i.e. If the Subvi front panel opens with the user that it will pop up and the user will be able to change the paramers device using the. But then the user should be able to close the front panel (hide) the Subvi to see the entire chart again without the Panel floating in front of her (of course control values must be maintained when the Subvi front is not visible). Then the new button is pressed in the main VI that opens the dialog box not modal Subvi containing controls and it can redefine new values of device.

    Advice how to do this are welcome. I don't know if I need something complex like VI server or asynchronous screws or I can solve my problem by changing some settings simple Subvi? Thank you in advance for your help!

    Best regards

    Anguel

    How about using a global variable for the VI at VI communication instead of a queue?

    A global variable will, also.  Write you in one place and read the value frequently to somewhere else (in the election). So you can see easily to any value change.  However, mark will waste a lot of time processor.  This is why I have proposed to use a queue or a notification utility.

    AStankov wrote:

    Would be the last option that you mentioned, i.e. finish the Subvi at each change of value, I would keep the Subvi front open as needed until things from the user to hide? Or would there be inevitable flickering Panel or any other drawbacks?

    Yes, the Subvi can keep the façade open until the user closes. And there should be no flickering.  The biggest drawback I see right now is that when you expect an event in the Subvi, the mainVI cannot stop without talking to the Subvi to stop.  So you'll need another channel of communication (again a global, a queue, a declarant or an event) to tell the Subvi that she must stop.

Maybe you are looking for
