Test Preferences – CPU |

Select CPU test types Using the check boxes it is possible to select which CPU test sub categories will be performed and which ones will be skipped. See the CPU test for more details. CPU affinity The CPU affinity setting is included in the BurnInTest Pro version only.

Normal task scheduling or CPU targeted testing can be selected here. Normal task scheduling will result in threads being dynamically scheduled on the CPU with the least load. In this way the load is spread between all available CPU’s. CPU targeted testing schedules all the threads onto a particular CPU.

Note that CPU selection is only possible if more than one CPU is installed and/or the CPU has more than one core. Administrator access rights are required.

Even if CPU targeted testing is used some load can “spill” onto other CPU’s. This is because system processes will still be allocated to other CPU’s
