[THIN] Re: About to test out Threadmaster on our new app that hogs the CPU in our test lab first

 

However, the Aurema stuff built in to Enteprise Edition assigns a larger
portion to the system processes and then caps users at a CPU max based on
available resources and numbers of users. So, it does not causes issues with
clamping processes you generally don't want clamped, and, it throttle the
user sessions in a reasonable and effective way...

I don't see why it wouldn't,  as you say it is performing a more granular
functionality.  I personally have found you are better just leaving the
optimizations off.  The SFO services (RTO memory stuff) runs with every user
login. It slows logins to a crawl.  This software was originally written to
be run..have the optimizations applied after it had reviewed the system and
then turned off once it optimizes the dlls.  I am not sure how they modified
it to work with Citrix.   The Aurema stuff is closer to what threadmaster
does but without the console and ability to control what is going on it is
pretty much useless...it is either on or off and you can't really get out of
it what you want.   I still think that if you need these types of apps in
the first place you should start looking at your applications and get your
vendor or programmer to fix what is wrong with them.   (I know legacy
apps..blah blah blah. )

CPU optimizations are off by default in PS4 (at least in a clean install).
My guess is a bunch of people don't even turn it on.  I know there has been
alot of reports of issues with the memory optmizations from posters to this
list, and I think I recalled 1 or 2 people with problesm with the CPU
management as well.


Threadmaster is a pretty basic app when it comes down to it.  Watch for CPU
to exceed a certain threshold and then throttle it.  It could probably run
fine with the PS4 management.

So give up a solid, industry leading work load manager for something that
does just thread reprioritization?  Why?

Just don't enable the CPU optimization in Citrix.

Wouldn't using Threadmaster on PS4 Enterprise be like trying to run McAfee
and Symantec AV on the same box?

And if you are running CPS 4 would you not want to add the Citrix print

The entries below are included as exceptions to the CPU throttling so that
the system can run unencumbered and you are more or less zeroing in on the
offending app - on a Win2k box would you include any other processes as
exceptions?

Parameters\ Exceptions]
