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. The Instance Balancer spreads the CPU across running process instances, of either the same or multiple applications (when using advanced match rules). When there are more instances than allotted CPU […]

They exist to allow for systems with more than 64 logical CPU cores. In Process Lasso, we refer to Processor Groups as ‘CPU Groups’. By default, an application’s threads are assigned to […]
