SMP Seesaw Pro is a tool for multi-CPU or multi-core computers that controls how Windows balances the compute load between the multiple processors. By default, Windows balances the processing load to multiple CPUs as evenly as possible among all programs.
SMP Seesaw Pro provides a convenient means to change the processor affinities for all running programs at once. In particular, the most common use is to dedicate one of your processors to a single program, thereby improving the performance or responsiveness of that program.
Full-screen games, software-based DVD playback, PVR programs like SageTV and BeyondTV, and VMware are examples of applications that might benefit from having exclusive access to one of your CPUs. Of course, not all programs would benefit: multi-threaded programs that are designed to take full advantage of several processors would actually be impeded. However, relatively few desktop applications are designed like this.
· Support for up to 32 CPUs
· Control processor affinities for system services
· Programmatic interface for C/C++, Visual Basic, Windows Scripting Host (JScript and VBScript), etc.
Note: SMP Seesaw Pro has a considerably more complicated user interface to support these features. If you have two processors/cores, use of the regular version of SMP Seesaw is recommended, because it is easier to use.
