Since Bulldozer is having threading issues that are apparently are fixed on windows 8 I was wondering if anyone that owns or has access to A bulldozer chip could test something out.


Try these tweaks in windows 7!!!


First of all... Disable core parking. This was mentioned by Rick last year? There is a non-destructive way of doing it now.. since windows does this (even with high performance set in power themes) it makes sense that sleeping half a module would cause more issues.

In short, here is the better method from sky60234:-

- Go to Regedit

- Find this key:- " 0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583 "

- Within this key, there is a value called: " ValueMax "

- This value represents the % number of cores the system will park - the default 100% ie: all Cores are potentially park-able

- Change the value from 64 to 0 so the " ValueMin " and " ValueMax " are both zero

- You will have to find the key a few times and repeat the process for each time it is found - the number of instances will depend on the number of power profiles in your system [ in my DAW it was only found twice ]

- Do a full shutdown and power-off and cold-re-start

The other thing is a windows service.

Note that enabling this feature will prevent windows from going into a sleep state. This one I am not as sure of I played with it a bit but never accurately tested it. By the definition it could improve or impede performance.

Go to services, set "Thread Ordering Service" to automatic.

AFAIK Only Bz has access to one ATM, I cant afford one so no testing here, and will probably skip it as it will require LN2 to bench. Now for a desktop Llano is my next experiment

Thanks guys I will post this over at OCF as well.
