Process Lasso / Re: 7950X3D - About CPU sets, ...

Last post by M0USER - April 01, 2024, 12:31:52 PM

Ok I found a way, tho not that elegant... It may serves for others.

I'm using Profile Switcher to change between two profiles : Game and Desktop. The only key difference between those is the (16-31) rule from Game is (0-31) for Desktop.
Added a rule in Profile Switcher for actual games and specific softwares to trigger the Game profile.

Not elegant because the switch isn't fast, do not care if processes are foreground/background, and tedious because I must update both profiles for each update modification I must do.

Would you be able to attach your config file(s) for your setup? I have the same CPU and just found out about Lasso now and bought it. I have not delved into it at all.

Thanks in advance.

hello, before proceeding, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed:
1. A subversion client
2. Standard Linux development tools (such as gcc, make, etc.)
4. The python-magic module
5. The zlib and lzma development packages
geometry dash scratch
Depending on your Ubuntu version, use one of the following commands to install the necessary packages:
5. For Ubuntu 18.04 and older:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-get install git build-essential zlib1g-dev liblzma-dev python-magic autoconf

Hope that my solution is useful for you.

You should have a total of 28 logical cores (threads) on that system.

Therefore, your E-cores appear to be disabled. Check your BIOS/UEFI settings and reset to defaults if you can't find the option to re-enable E-cores.

The HWMonitor screenshot should list cores that begin with "E-core", not only "P-core", as shown in the attached screenshot from a different CPU with fewer total cores.

Hi Guys,

I have an I7-14700 with 8 Performance Cores and 12 Efficent-Cores as you can see in Screenshot 3

In screenshot 1 you can see how it looks like on my PC

And in screenshot 2 how it should look like from the Bitsum webpage

But they are enabled as you can see in Screenshot 4

ParkControl / Re: P+E core management under ...

I'd like to know which is usually the more dominant thread for games.

We have never studied the thread durations of common games, so I don't have an answer as to if short or long running threads are more prevalent, or if either is more impactful for performance. The games and their underlying engines could be architected to be reliant on either type of thread; it's not like one is innately better than the other.

Therefore, for the time being, experimentation is required to assess which settings are best for your hardware and games.

Efficiency Mode OFF rule causes hit registration issues.

That sounds unusual and I advise double checking that there is a correlation. I'm not saying there isn't, but my hunch is there are other factors at play.

Sorry I don't have more exact answers, but when exactness is possible, we bake that into an algorithm .

Last post by Jeremy Collake - March 27, 2024, 11:58:17 AM

Generally, you don't *need* to do that, and should just let ProBalance handle it automatically.

That said, if you do set idle priority for some processes, I'd focus on the ones that are likely to be impactful. To determine that, you can sort by the CPU time column and see which are even consuming CPU. Then you can look at those and try to assess which are non-critical. Be careful of modifying system services that running applications might depend on and avoid tampering with security related services since their system-wide hooks can be blocking. ProBalance takes all that into consideration already and gets tuning updates.

Process Lasso / Re: Feature Removal Request

Last post by Jeremy Collake - March 27, 2024, 11:50:00 AM

I am looking at ways to remove or reduce the nag. I personally run with Process Lasso unactivated day-to-day just to ensure that I have a feel for how obtrusive the nag is.

Here's a tip to skip past the timer when you need to:

1. Click 'Activate my license'
2. Dismiss the activation dialog.
3. Nag will close instantly.

Process Lasso / Re: 7950X3D: CPU Sets behave l...

Last post by florencepugh - March 27, 2024, 04:05:27 AM

I have a 7950X3D and when I create a rule for CPU sets, the application never uses CPUs outside the set.

This can easily be reproduced with Cinebench: As soon as a CPU sets rule is in place, the application behaves like it has been assigned a hard affinity.

contexto

I have disabled the AMD 3D Cache optimization, turned off Windows Game Mode and set the BIOS to prefer the frequency, enabled Performance mode and the Bitsum Highest Performance mode in Process Lasso. However, the problem persists.

From what I understand, the application should "spill over" to other CPUs if more threads are needed? Might I be missing something?

You're right, CPU Sets in Process Lasso shouldn't restrict Cinebench entirely. You can check your rule configuration, and ensure enough cores are included in the set.

Process Lasso / setting priority classes for b...

Last post by mako - March 26, 2024, 07:03:46 AM

hi all, i've been using process lasso and been seeing a lot of tips saying that i should set the priority class of background processes lower rather than setting other processes to a higher priority.

i'm unsure of which process i'm safely able to set to idle. is it safe to set all processes to idle, or are there certain processes i need to avoid touching? if so do let me know

thanks!
