Promo2day Review Process Lasso 9.1 Updated Review
#1
[Image: 55lkxnS.jpg]
 



Most computer users will have their system getting slow and sometimes unresponsive or freeze. You may even have more frustrating problems as BSOD with high CPU use. They will sure need to increase system responsiveness and helps to prevents system stalls.
 
Process Lasso is Windows process automation and optimization software. From tuning algorithms like ProBalance to user-created rules and persistent settings such as CPU affinities and priority classes, Process Lasso enables you full control over running applications!
 
The built-in ProBalance algorithm maintains system responsiveness during high CPU loads. This proprietary algorithm dynamically adjusts the priorities of running programs so that some are given higher priority access to the CPU than others. With ProBalance, no longer will single, or multiple, processes be able to bring your system to a virtual stall. Process Lasso will let you keep interacting with your computer, even when it is under a heavy CPU load.
 
Process Lasso also allows users to automate and tweak how applications are run through a number of unique and helpful functions. These include persistent priority classes, persistent CPU affinities, disallowed processes, per-process power profiles, a process watchdog for advanced rules, process instance count limits, multiple instance balancing and much more! These features give you the ability to control how programs utilize your computer’s resources based on automatically applied settings. With Process Lasso, you can decide exactly how you want your processes to run.
 
Many additional functions such as power plan automation, a system responsiveness metric and process activity logging are also available.
 
For minimal resource use, all algorithms and process rules are enforced by a stand-alone background service called the Process Governor. The GUI is entirely optional.

Process Lasso v9.1 has been released!
 
This new version offers several enhancements over the last v9.0 build and a new feature called the Instance Balancer.

[Image: Vu0bP7c.png]

[Image: E5LTkMa.png] 

The Instance Balancer individually assigns CPU cores to multiple instances of the same application. This is done by way of a selectable algorithm. Presently, the options are to either give each instance an equal number of CPU cores (rebalanced when the instance count changes), or to set give each instance a specific number of CPU cores.
 
This new feature is not something most people will need, but it covers a previous gap in functionality. While users could set persistent CPU affinities for different applications, multiple instances of the same application were problematic because they have the same process name and path.
Other product improvements include a better looking graph legend with numerical readings, smoother listview refreshes, bug fixes and a few areas of refactoring.
 
For full list of changes and new features, visit here:

Now let’s discuss how process lasso is a must need program that will help you:
 
The program has an optimal Configuration with native 64-bit code for maximum performance! it does NOT use the .NET Common Language Runtime and that the code is compiled to machine code, instead of to Microsoft Intermediate Language. The offers you the advantages of fast performance and low memory use.
 
Process Lasso Modes available:
 
ProBalance:
 
This famous built-in tool ‘fixes’ system responsiveness if it is a background process out of control, or as soon as you click away from the foreground process. You have to click away only because of the default ‘foreground exclusion’. This will prevent ProBalance from acting on something important to you. This feature is especially useful to gamers, multimedia editors, multitasking users and those with high CPU loads. It will save you from freeze, microlags, hard resets.

Gaming Mode 2.0: 
 
This is now renamed as “Highest Performance Mode” in the new version 9. This mode invokes the power plan: ‘Bitsum Highest Performance’. This will help to keep your CPU ready to execute code at all times. Otherwise, you would cope with that extra bit of latency seen while unparking cores, or ramping up the CPU frequency, which degrades performance of bursting CPU loads. 
With ParkControl, hidden CPU settings that control core parking are revealed. Process Lasso offers you a power plan pre-configured for maximal performance.
 
SmartTrim RAM Management: 
 
The program acts in a selective way using an intelligent RAM management algorithm to optimize your computer RAM. It doesn’t force everything out of memory all at once. It politely asks memory hogging background processes to release their working sets. It has many other criteria built-in, such as never trimming the application you’re actively engaged with.

IdleSaver
 
This built-in option lets you enjoy top PC performance without sacrificing power savings. The program lets users choose an aggressive/performance power plan while being active on the PC, then a more conservative one when you go Idle.

Power Plans: 
 
The program lets you select from 5 power plans based on your needs and system use; bitsum highest performance, balanced (default), high performance, power saver and eco. It can be accessed easily from the main menu or right click of taskbar icon

Keep PC awake: 
 
This option is available under main menu and lets you specify the time you want your PC to be awake

Anti-sleep features:
 
The built-in anti sleep features help you to prevent your PC and display from entering a sleep or hibernate state by adding them to the 'anti-sleep' list. In addition, the program lets you set certain processes to cause the system to enter the chosen Power Profile each time they are run. These are available under options menu.

Control of Active Processes:
 
The Active Processes tab 
 
This will show you the processes that are only actively utilizing the system CPU. It displays basic information about them, and a horizontal bar graph to visually depict their active CPU utilization. You can now either right clicking or double click on any of the running processes to show the context menu or more extended information. Also, simple hoover using your mouse over any of the running processes will let you get all information you want in a pop up window.

Double clicking a process in the active processes view: This will help you to go to that process in the 'All processes' tab, where extended information is available.
 
Right click context menu:
 
Single process context menu:
 
Right-clicking on a process in the 'Active Processes' tab shows the same context menu as in the 'All processes' tab. You can perform any available operation on the process.

Multiple process context menu:
 
Just as in the 'All processes' tab, you can select multiple processes and right-click on them to perform an operation on all of them..
 
Instance Count Limits:
 
The program limits the number of a process allowed to be running at the same time.
 
Keep Running Processes:
 
You can ensure certain processes are kept running using keep process running dialogue which is located under options menu.
 
Gaming Processes:
 
Moreover, the program will help you to designate certain processes as games. In this condition, it will induce the High Performance Power Profile and make certain adjustments to ProBalance in an effort to ensure all available CPU cycles go to the game.
 
Process Watchdog: 
 
The process watchdog allows for you to take an action on a process when it exceeds a certain amount of CPU or Memory. You can specify actions of restart, terminate, or change affinity. You can choose commit size of working set size if using a memory trigger. With both memory and CPU triggers, you can set a time the process must exceed this threshold before action is taken.

Automation
 
This is one of the useful built-in features in process lasso. It will let you control your PC through either your own manual rules, or the program automated algorithms. You can set process priorities, process CPU affinities, and more. In addition; you will have those settings persist for as preferred. The program automated capabilities include ProBalance, power plan, power settings, keep your PC awake, limit instances, disallow processes, advanced watchdog rules and much more.
 
Default (Persistent) CPU, I/O, and Memory Priorities:
 
Process Lasso has a robust ability to set default priority settings for a process. This includes the CPU priority class, I/O level, and memory priority. These options are also easily accessible via the process context menu (right-click) within Process Lasso’s GUI.
 
Real-Time Apps: 
 
The program ensures optimal performance at all times for real-time applications!
 
Tools
 
There are built-in tools under options menu that help you to tweak windows NT scheduler parameters, tweak the multimedia scheduler parameters, open task manager, open windows power options, configure core parking and launch CPUeater demo application
