AffinityMaster is a simple Python script that manages CPU affinity for a specified process. Usefull for older games that don't support multithreading. Possibly to improve performance in CPU bound games.
- Set CPU affinity for a specified process to improve performance.
- Automatically calculates number of threads on CPU.
- Forces the process to only use physical cores and avoid usage of E-Cores.
- Easy configuration using an INI file.
-
Ensure you have Python installed on your system.
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/RedJohn260/AffinityMaster.git
-
Navigate to the project directory:
cd AffinityMaster
-
Install dependencies using pip:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Copy AffinityMaster.ini, AffinityMaster.py or AffinityMaster.exe in your game directory.
- Configure AffinityMaster.ini file with the desired settings. The file should have the following format:
[config] wait_duration = <wait duration in seconds> exe_name = <name of the executable to manage CPU affinity for> start_app = <0/1 to specify whether to start the executable with the AffinityMaster script>
- Run the script using Python or AffinityMaster.exe:
python AffinityMaster.py
Not every system will benefit from this script. There's nothing to troubleshoot.
