Assigning AviSynth process/thread affinity to 2nd CPU

[lcksg]

How do I assign a different priority/affinity of Avisynth frameserving process/thread to a 2nd physical CPU (Xeon)? I am using this app from THG (http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/20040528/index.html) to maximize dual CPU utilization. Is it possible, for example for AviSynth & filters to use 2nd CPU while VirtualDub & Xvid use the 1st CPU? Are there any DLLs that AviSynth is using? Couldn't find it on Windows Task Manager. Any developers willing to comment?

Thanks for the help. :)

Virtual Dub already works this way. AviSynth in one thread, delivering the frames. XviD in the other thread, compressing the frames.

The workload may not be balanced between threads, but you should have >50% workload overall.

can't you go to Task Manager -> Processes, right click and assign threads to CPU 0/1/2/etc?

Thanks for the reply. How may I assign a single (http://server6.uploadit.org/files/pokipoki-Cap1.jpg) process/thread's affinity to 2 CPUs?? :confused: (frameserving AviSynth 2.54 into VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.1, output to XviD-1.0.1-05062004)
