All CPU Affinity except one

[kamesankamesan]

Hi, i have a program that use 100% of all Threads of my CPU.

It become impossible to do anything else on this machine when processing.

I wan't to disabled the affinity of the first and the second for that process.

I can find a lot of example to use the first and the second, like: 

;_WinAPI_SetProcessAffinityMask($hProc, 0x01) ;Set affinity for 1-st core
;_WinAPI_SetProcessAffinityMask($hProc, 0x02) ;Set affinity for 2-nd core
_WinAPI_SetProcessAffinityMask($hProc, 0x03) ;Set affinity for both cores

... but how to do the inverse?

My machine is 56 threads! 

Thank you for your help.

What happens if you set the affinity to all but those?

i understand that you say it uses all, but i just mean, set affinity "on top" of it.

How many cores do you have? And on which core(s) do you want to run your process? For example if you have 4 cores and you want to run just on cores 3 and 4 then your mask will be 0x0C.

Thank you for your interest.

I have 14 cores x 2 hyperthreaded, so 56 threads.

I wan't to disabled the first 4 threads of an running process.

 

It will be great if this script could work not depending of the maximum threads a machine have.

Because i would like to run on several machine that have different number of cores.

But everytime, i want the same thing: disabled the first 4 threads on a specific process.

 

I Hope it is clear...

Thank you for your help.

Ok, i understand now that 56 threads affinity is 72057594037927935  in decimal number.

But Autoit handle decimal number in 32bits.

So it can't set all cpu affinity...

max seem to be: 4294967295 (32 threads)

Any idea?

Thx

Hmm, i'm trying a different way.... Correct me please if i'm wrong.

 0x00FFFFFFFFFFFFFF = 56 THREADS?
 0x00FFFFFFFFFFFFFC = 56 THREADS - first 2 THREADS ?
 0x00000000FFFFFFFF = 32 THREADS
 0x00000000FFFFFFFC = 32 THREADS -  first 2 THREADS  ?
 0x000000000000FFFF = 16 THREADS
 0x000000000000FFFC = 16 THREADS -  first 2 THREADS  ?
 0x00000000000000FF = 8 THREADS
 0x00000000000000FC = 8 THREADS -  first 2 THREADS  ?

That seems to  be exact but unfortunantely it can't parse more that 32 THREADS again...

0xFFFFFFFF is max. I suppose for the same reason: autoit int32 numbers..

kamesankamesan,

Please stick to just the one thread - and certainly do not resurrect any more 9-year old ones.

Sorry to disturb you with my double post 

I tought it wasn't impolite because my problem is no more "all Cpu's affinity except one". I found the way.

But because i use the script from the 9 year old post, i tought it was better to warn there about the uncompatibility with more than 32 cores machine.
