RunWithAffinity

RunWithAffinity is a lightweight application built specifically for helping you assign limited CPU power to a certain program.

Although Windows provides support for helping you switch the default CPU affinity for a tool, it is not able to keep the utility under the same affinity.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to set affinities on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

You are welcomed by a clean feature lineup that offers only a few configuration settings to tinker with. Although the user interface is not aesthetically impressive, it is actually very practical and enables you to configure the dedicated parameters from a single panel.

As soon as you load the desired program, RunWithAffinity displays some information about it, such as name, description, size, processor, shortcut name, folder, as well as icon.

You are allowed to set the desired affinity for the program, specify the parameters of the utility, as well as pick the running mode (normal, minimized, maximized). In order to make sure the application preserves the CPU affinity every time your run it, you can create a shortcut for helping you launch the target item with the specific affinity.

Since it doesn’t require much computer knowledge to set up the dedicated parameters, even rookies can master the entire process with minimal effort. During our testing we have noticed that RunWithAffinity carries out a task pretty quickly.

To sum things up, RunWithAffinity proves to be a reliable app that provides a handy set of features for helping you set the affinity for the target utility.
