Setting Cpu Affinity

[gauss5546]

I have looked through the Auto It help guide and forums quite a few times but I have a question that I cannot find an answer to.

Is it possible to set a program to have an affinity for one core with Auto It?

Visually the way to do this is to open the task manager, click the processes tab, right click on the process, click set affinity, check off which cpu(s) you want it to use.

I am looking for a quick way through Auto It that I can change the affinity for a certain process.

Check out, _WinAPI_SetProcessAffinityMask.

Example:

#include <WinAPI.au3>

Global Const $PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS = 0x1F0FFF

$sPID = Run("notepad.exe")

$hProc = _WinAPI_OpenProcess($PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, False, $sPID)
$aRet = _WinAPI_GetProcessAffinityMask($hProc)

MsgBox(0, "", $aRet[0] & @LF & _
              $aRet[1] & @LF & _
              $aRet[2] & @LF)

;_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

_WinAPI_CloseHandle($hProc)

Thanks! I had to edit that script a bit to get it to work correctly and this is what I got it to.

CODE

#include <WinAPI.au3>

$sPID = Run("notepad.exe")

$hProc = _WinAPI_OpenProcess($PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, False, $sPID)

$aRet = _WinAPI_GetProcessAffinityMask($hProc)

;_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

_WinAPI_CloseHandle($hProc)

It works great now!
