with ability to keep tab on resource hoggers resulting in system
lockups and crashes, this small utility sits in your system tray and
kicks in when certain user defined conditions are met like an
application eating up more than 60% of your CPU cycles, Process Lasso
will then avoid system lockup or crash by dynamically lowering process
priority of the particular process.
Author Description:
Process Lasso is a unique new technology intended to
automatically adjust the allocation of CPU cycles so that system
responsiveness is improved in high-load situations. It does this by
dynamically temporarily lowering the priorities of processes that are
consuming too many CPU cycles, there-by giving other processes a chance
to run if they are in need. This is useful for both single and
multi-core processors. No longer will a single process be able to bring
your system to a virtual stall.In addition, Process Lasso offers capabilities such as default
process priorities, default process CPU affinities, termination of
disallowed processes, and logging of processes executed. With Process
Lasso you essentially create rules to manage processes running on your
system. For example:1. Examples Make notepad.exe run at below normal priority each time its launched.
2. Make firefox.exe run only on CPU #1 each time its launched.
3. When any process is consuming 35% or greater of the CPU for 1.5
seconds or more and the total system CPU usage is 95% or greater, lower
that process's priority until it returns to 5% CPU utilization.
