Ashwin: the latest version should be 5.0.0.17.
Process Lasso v5.0.0.17 :
Process Lasso is a unique new technology that will improve your PC's responsiveness and stability during periods of high CPU load. Windows, by design, allows programs to monopolize your CPU without restraint -- leading to freezes, hangs, and micro-lags. Process Lasso's
ProBalance (Process Balance) technology intelligently adjusts the priorities of running programs so that badly behaved processes won't negatively impact the responsiveness of your PC.
Process Lasso also offers an assortment of ways to take full control of how your CPUs are allocated to running programs. In essence, it is an all-in-one automated Windows process tuner. You can choose at what priority processes should run, and which CPUs should be assigned to them. You can also disallow certain programs from running, log all programs run, automatically restart programs, limit the number of instances of a program, and much more. You can even indicate processes that should induce entrance into the High Performance power scheme or prevent the PC from sleeping. A gaming mode also allows for easy process priority optimization for avid gamers.
- ProBalance
Balance process priorities (or CPU affinities) in a safe, effective manner to improve PC responsiveness during high loads and prevent system stalls and micro-lags. Our technology does NOT do additional foreground boosting, instead it lowers background process priorities where appropriate. Our years of experience have resulted in a highly optimal algorithm duplicated nowhere. - Persistent (sticky) priorities and affinities
Set 'default' (persistent, sticky) priorities and CPU affinities for your processes, allowing you to tweak the way in which they are executed - Auto-terminate
Terminate select processes any time they are found to be running - Process Watchdog new in v4
Terminate, restart, or change CPU affinity when a specified threshold is met - Instance Count Limits
Limit processes to a specified number of instances - Multi-Core Optimization
Through default CPU affinities and ProBalance affinity adjustments, you can optimize your multi-core processor to make the most efficient use of your CPUs (cores). In v4.1 (in beta), we also offer logical core avoidance to improve performance of certain applications on HyperThreaded CPUs. - I/O Priority new
For Vista and above you can view and set the current or default/persistent I/O priority of processes - Power Scheme Automation
Set the power scheme to automatically change to 'High Performance' when certain processes are running, then change back when they exit (more powerful in new beta, can change to any scheme). Save energy, or increase performance on-demand! - System Responsiveness Metric
Our unique algorithm monitors system responsiveness with amazing accuracy - Independent Core Engine
This stand-alone background process can run as a normal process or as a service. This 'core engine', named ProcessGovernor.exe, is what actually enforces process rules and ProBalance. It doesn't need the presence of the GUI (main window) at all. This allows for minimal resource utilization. - Minimal Resource Use
NOBODY uses less resources for this type of task than Process Lasso. It is written in native C++ and continually refined for maximum efficiency. A native 64-bit build also available. Private memory usage by the core engine is typically under 1MB! (depends on system) - Utilizes new features of Windows Vista/7
Makes use of latest features of Windows 7, but maintains full backwards compatibility to Windows 2000! - So much more...
Discover for yourself what Process Lasso can do for you! Quick example of one more feature -- the multi-select feature.. That's right, select multiple processes and act on all of them at once!
As an aside, in Windows Vista and Windows 7, adjustments of the process priority class also have an effect on the I/O and SuperFetch memory priorities for that process.
Once you install Process Lasso, it will just start working. More advanced users can tweak the configuration, but you needn't touch anything to have it instantly improve your system responsiveness and prevent stalls in high load situations.
Process Lasso is very useful and effective on even the latest high-end PCs. However, its ProBalance algorithm achieves maximum effect on PCs with relatively little CPU 'power', such as Netbooks, Tablets, and older desktops.
Process Lasso runs on all editions of Windows 2000, XP, 2003, 2008, Vista, and Windows 7.
Process Lasso is
written in native C++, not .NET . The background core engine that manages processes is completely independent from the graphical user interface, allowing you to keep process rules applied with almost no overhead. With Process Lasso, load time is instant and resource consumption is minimal.
Here are some screenshots of Process Lasso. Note that sometimes we may have screenshots of the current beta instead of last final. Naturally, we are eager to announce our new capabilities.
Graphical Interface Features
- Basic task manager capabilities for convenience
- Act on *multiple* processes at once
- Show only active processes, or all processes
- Displays per-process CPU history
- Change process settings and rules
- System tray icon with notifications
- Extremely low resource use, and sleeps when minimized to tray
Process Lasso's background process management engine is completely independent of the GUI. It can run all by itself, silently enforcing process rules and logging process events.
