  4. Real Time Vs High Priority

Apr 15, 2016 But that was after i had given a game real time priority. Now while running other apps my PC randomly slows down and i have to restart it. Even while running the app i gave real time priority. Before i could run online games like begone just fine but now after 20 min gaming my PC slows down and starts to lag. Those of you who read Atomic Magazine (such as I) will probably know this already, but for those who don't, read on. The following script will allow you to force games to run with Real Time priority. Meaning, Windows will give the game absolute priority over all running background services.

Hey there.
Many FPS Guides say that you should set the process priority in the taskmanager to 'high'. But always alt+tab'ing out of the game is kind of anoying.
So here is a better way - Set it permanently!
All you have to do is:
1. Create a .txt file and copy n' paste the following into it.2. Save the file as .reg
3. Run it - Done!
4. Pr000fit!
Hope you like it

    What does it do? Does it do something with CPU spiking up to 100%?

    This tells your processor to focus more on the bf1.exe. So you gain performance in some cases.

    What would I have to type in if I wanted to revert the CPU priority of BF1 back to 'normal'?

    To bring it back to normal you just delete the Key. Do the same steps as in the first post but instead use this Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionImage File Execution Optionsbf1.exePerfOptions]'CpuPriorityClass'=-
    Run it and it'll return back to normal.

    Can anyone confirm that this improves the performance?

    Can anyone confirm that this improves the performance?

    Well, it depends on your CPU. I can't promise you that it will increase performance for you. Just try it out for a couple of hours. If it doesn't, delete the key.

    The game runs at high prioitiy anyway.
    Since this serves no purpose, and messing with the registry can cause permenant data loss, I highly recommend no one tries this 'at home', so to speak.

    No it doesn't run in high priority. Check it for yourself in the taskmanager. Rightclick bf1.exe - Set Priority - and see what is checked.
    If you don't know what you are doing, I don't recommend doing this. And yes playing with the registry can cause damage - but it's like putting a 'hot' label on a coffee mug. it's obviously hot.
    With some games this method gives you huge performance boosts and on others nothing at all. It depends. It works for me tho.
    Edit:
    And if some one wants a reliable source. here's the microsoft tutorial on how to make .reg files.

    Lol you are really too lazy to do this easy step during your BF1 is launching? Lol, iam doing this 10-15 times during day when starting BF1 and iam not bored of it. It takes you few seconds omg. But on the other side yes, it really can help to your performance. With normal priority i have often stuttering, with high priority minimum stuttering, almost no stuterring.

    Honestly this isn't a issue with windows setting priority the game is already CPU hog regardless.
    About the only thing really going to help is the Thread.MaxProcessorCount command
  • 219 postsMember, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline, Battlefield, Battlefield 1, BF1IncursionsAlpha, Battlefield VMember
    There's also a great little programme called process lasso. In that you can set it to gaming mode and tell it every time bf1.exe is launched to set it to whatever priority you choose.

    Well the only way for me to play this game 'normaly' is to use
    1. Power plan settins on High preformance
    2. Unpark CPU cores
    3. Game installed on SSD
    4. DX12 off
    5. User.cfg
    Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4 (set for my i5 with 4 cores)
    RenderDevice.VSyncEnable 0
    RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 2
    GameTime.MaxVariableFps 59.94 (set for my 60Hz monitor)
    6. Set CPU priority to LOW

    1,2,3,4 steps are definitely good, cannot harm.
    But why would you put the CPU priority to low ???

    I doubt you'll win even 1% of performance by changing priority. It will help if you run other programs while playing BF1 (like encoding a video ), but why would you do that?
  • 90 postsMember, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, Battlefield, Battlefield 1Member
    I added it then deleted this a while back and saw no noticeable difference.
  • 75 postsMember, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, Battlefield, Battlefield 1Member
    This tweak cannot hurt anything at all, I use it with GTAV and it helped me a bit.not sure with BF1 though

    Doesn`t work anymore after the latest update, bf1.exe stays at normal priority. Can you update your tweak ?

Statview 5.0 software download. This topic explains how the LabVIEW Real-Time Module handles priorities and execution systems when creating and scheduling threads. By understanding the priority-based scheduling model, you can leverage the strengths of the LabVIEW Real-Time Module to create deterministic applications.

Threads, Priorities, and Execution Systems

LabVIEW is a structured dataflow language that abstracts many of the underlying complexities of computer operation to create an intuitive graphical programming environment. To understand how LabVIEW schedules parallel tasks based on priority, it helps to define some key concepts that underlie the scheduling process in LabVIEW:

  • Thread—The basic unit of concurrency in the LabVIEW Real-Time Module. Operations within a thread execute sequentially, while each thread executes independently.
  • Scheduler—An algorithm the operating system uses to schedule threads. The scheduler determines which thread to run on each CPU in the system at any given time.
  • Run Queue—The queue of threads ready to be scheduled.
  • Preemptive Scheduling—The process whereby the scheduler interrupts a lower-priority thread as soon as a higher-priority thread is ready to run.
  • Round-Robin Scheduling—The process whereby the scheduler switches periodically between threads of equal priority to promote equal sharing of processor time.
  • Execution System—A pool of related threads. Use the Execution page of the VI Properties dialog box to configure the execution system of a VI.
  • VI Priority—The priority you assign to a VI on the Execution page of the VI Properties dialog box.
  • Timed Loop Priority—The priority you assign to a Timed Loop using either the Priority input or the Configure Timed Loop dialog box.
  • OS Priority—The priority assigned to a thread by the real-time operating system. LabVIEW assigns each thread an OS priority based on the priority of the containing VI or Timed Loop.
  • Time-Critical—The highest priority available for a LabVIEW VI. Time-critical threads run above the priority of the scheduler itself. Therefore, time-critical threads always run to completion or until blocked.
  • Priority Inheritance—The process whereby a thread temporarily assumes the priority of the calling thread. Priority inheritance helps to prevent priority inversions.
  • Jitter—A measure of the extent to which execution timing fails to meet deterministic expectations.

The following illustration summarizes the priorities and execution systems available in LabVIEW. Monster mania slots. Spin and win a phone.

The preceding illustration shows the following facts:

  • Execution systems are independent of priority levels. LabVIEW uses execution systems only as thread pools and does not prioritize threads based on execution system. For each execution system, LabVIEW creates up to four threads at each priority level. This rule extends to each core in a multi-core system, so on a dual-core system, LabVIEW could create up to eight threads at each priority level for each execution system. Because the number of threads per execution system is limited, balancing your execution system assignments can be important. If you assign too many VIs to the same execution system, the VIs must share threads, limiting the potential parallelism of the VIs.
  • Timed structure priorities fall between the high and time-critical VI priority levels.
  • When you place parallel code inside a single Timed Structure, LabVIEW serializes the code because each timed structure comprises one and only one thread.
  • LabVIEW Real-Time Module systems include many system threads running in parallel to the threads that comprise your LabVIEW VIs. These system threads execute at various priorities. For example, the NI Scan Engine thread, when present, runs by default at a priority above time-critical.

Priority Inheritance

LabVIEW implements priority inheritance to prevent unintended priority reductions. If a subVI is configured with a lower priority than that of the calling VI and both run within the same execution system, the subVI inherits the priority of the calling VI. If a subVI is configured with a priority higher than that of the calling VI, the subVI maintains its configured priority.

Note If a subVI runs in a different execution system than the calling VI, priority inheritance does not occur.

Real Time Priority For Games On

The real-time operating system (RTOS) also implements priority inheritance. When a lower-priority thread holds a shared resource needed by a higher-priority thread, the RTOS temporarily increases the priority of the thread holding the shared resource so that the resource can return promptly to the higher-priority thread.

Time-Critical Priorities

Games

There are two types of time-critical threads:

  • VIs set to time-critical priority—VIs set to time-critical priority run above the priority of the scheduler itself. Therefore, VIs set to time-critical priority always run to completion or until blocked, typically by the inclusion of a timing function or a function that waits for an external event.
  • Timed Structures—A Timed Structure can be interrupted by another Timed Structure of higher priority or by a VI set to time-critical priority.

Real Time Priority For Games 2017

Note National Instruments recommends creating no more than one time-critical task per CPU.

Timed Structure Priorities

LabVIEW uses two separate but related priority schemes: VI priorities and timed structure priorities. Timed structure priorities are numeric, and a higher value represents a higher priority relative to other timed structures executing on the target. However, all timed structure priorities fall between the high and time-critical VI priority levels.

Note(Real-Time Linux) Do not use more than 32 timed structure priority levels in a VI. LabVIEW returns an error if you attempt to set more than 32 timed structure priority levels.

Avoiding Errors When Using Priority Schemes

National Instruments recommends using only one priority scheme in your application, as shown in the following examples: Honestech ht vidbox nw06 drivers for mac.

  • If the application uses timed structures, keep all VIs at normal priority.
  • If the application uses VIs set to time-critical priority, do not place timed structures inside the VIs set to time-critical priority.

Using a single priority scheme makes the application easier to understand and less error prone.

Scheduling

Scheduling is the process of determining which task to run at a given time. Scheduling is a key task for any modern operating system, but especially for a real-time operating system (RTOS). In addition to threads spawned by your VIs, an RT target runs numerous OS and driver threads at various priorities. To ensure that your tasks execute according to your timing requirements, it helps to understand how LabVIEW Real-Time schedules threads.

Basic RT Scheduling Rules

The following rules summarize the operation of the LabVIEW Real-Time scheduler when a new thread enters the run queue:

  1. Perform preemptive scheduling among threads of different priority.
  2. Perform round-robin scheduling among threads of equal priority.
  3. Time-critical threads always run to completion.

Understanding How LabVIEW Real-Time Module Scheduling Works

At any given time, each thread in the system is either running or blocked:

  • Running—The thread is in the run queue, which means it is either ready to execute or is currently executing.
  • Blocked—The thread cannot execute until some event occurs, such as the completion of an I/O operation or a timing function.

  • Running—The thread is in the run queue, which means it is either ready to execute or is currently executing.
  • Blocked—The thread cannot execute until some event occurs, such as the completion of an I/O operation or a timing function.

Real Time Vs High Priority

Xcalibur free download. When a thread begins executing, it runs until one of the following conditions arises:

  • The thread becomes blocked by a Wait VI within a While Loop, the built-in timing mechanism of a Timed Loop, or a blocking function such as the Read Variable with Timeout function.
  • The thread is interrupted by a higher-priority thread.
  • The thread finishes executing.

When a thread becomes unblocked, it enters the run queue. The run queue is always sorted in priority order, so when a thread enters this queue, it immediately moves ahead of all lower-priority threads. If a thread entering the run queue is higher-priority than a currently-running thread, the higher-priority thread either runs on a different CPU core or interrupts the currently-running thread in a process called preemptive scheduling.

Preemptive Scheduling

Online casino affiliate marketing. Preemptive scheduling is the process of ordering thread execution based on the relative priorities of the threads. When a thread of higher priority than the current thread enters the run queue, the scheduler interrupts the current thread if necessary so that the higher-priority thread can execute immediately. The interrupted thread then returns to the run queue behind the higher-priority thread.

Round Robin Scheduling

Round robin scheduling is the process of alternating between threads such that each thread receives roughly equivalent CPU time. During round robin scheduling, the scheduler interrupts and switches between the threads at regular intervals, keeping track of the CPU time given to each thread.

The LabVIEW Real-Time Module performs round robin scheduling among threads of equal priority. However, the LabVIEW Real-Time Module does not perform round-robin scheduling among VIs set to time-critical priority.

Setting Loop Priorities Based on Timing Requirements

Although it seems intuitive to set the priority of each loop based on the perceived importance of the loop, this strategy can cause jitter. Set the priority of each loop not based on how critical the task is within the application but rather based on how important it is that the task fulfill a certain timing guarantee. For example, in a data logging application with a data acquisition loop and a logging loop, you might be tempted to make the logging loop the higher-priority loop. However, data acquisition must occur at regular intervals to avoid missed data points. However, it does not matter when you log each data point to disk, as long as you log each point eventually. In this case, you should assign a higher priority to the data acquisition loop, even though data logging is the primary purpose of the application.
