The problem with Windows way of core parking is lack of flexibility since by default you are given very few options for setting Core parking index on your machine Core parking can potentially increase energy efficiency during lower usage. The remaining cores are responsible for the remainder of the workload. Cores that are parked generally do not have any threads scheduled, and they will drop into very low power states when they are not processing interrupts, DPCs, or other strictly affinitized work. The PPM engine chooses a minimum number of cores for the threads that will be scheduled. The processor power management (PPM) engine and the scheduler work together to dynamically adjust the number of cores that are available to run threads. Many features mentioned above will be described in greater details in the description below, so if you are interested read on … CPU Core ParkingĬPU Core parking is a feature that was introduced in Windows Server 2008 R2.

This application was made to provide help in controlling such factors and reduce the effect of degrading performance when possible. This can be caused by many hard to predict factors, such as system state, availability, CPU state, heat and many many more. Even though these are all positive changes, it sometimes creates a situation where an end user is not getting top performance when it is required (delayed performance boostboost). Considering significant change in technology and expectations from the hardware, CPU’s have gotten a lot of new features such as TurboBoost, SpeedStep, Hyper-Threading and individual core state/s that help to reduce power consumption and heat. However, in the modern world, power consumption sometimes takes a higher priority than performance output. CPU Performance and power consumptionīack in a day, most computers were desktop machines with the main goal for the hardware, to offer absolute best performance and there was no real need for technologies such as SpeedStep, Turbo Boost etc. Below you can find information about the way this application works and how to interpret application data and settings as well as modify and monitor other critical system parameters. Quick CPU Portable is a program that was designed to fine-tune and monitor important CPU and System parameters such as CPU Temperature (Package and Core Temp), CPU Performance, Power, Voltage, Current, Core Parking, Frequency Scaling, System Memory, Turbo Boost, C-States, Speed Shift FIVR Control as well as making other adjustments.
