Bitsum — the makers behind Process Lasso — has created a new thread scheduling application called CoreDirector that gives users complete control over the efficiency cores in Intel's 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen chips. The app addresses core scheduling problems with the Windows scheduler or Intel's automated Thread Director, which can occur with some applications. With CoreDirector, users can manually control which applications/games are applied to the E and P cores.
The app has three core enforcement methods: "Efficiency Mode OFF," CPU Affinities, and CPU sets. Efficiency Mode Off is a soft enforcement method that prevents threads from being automatically scheduled to the E-cores but still allows the E-cores to be used if an application needs the E-cores specifically or needs more threads than the P-cores can provide.
