Does Windows10 process scheduler honour Intel CPU "favourite" cores?

P.S. The partial answer was found. These decorated "experts" know nothing than flooding the topic with their arrogant remarks and self-advertisement.

Apparently, Microsoft has cooperated with Intel and specifically implemented "favored" core preferential choice algorithm in their process scheduler:

It is written here:

Someone in Intel has provided Tom's with this information critical for promotion of their new TB iteration.

The question about HT core separation is still open. It was a major problem in Windows 7 where you had to disable HT in bios for running BLAS based numeric simulations.

Sorry, your superlong CV has zero relation to the question I asked. Either you did not understand a word in the question, or you are just self-advertizing and flooding the topic.

AGAIN:

1. "Does Windows10 process scheduler honour CPU cores labeled as "favourite" by Intel"

[YES] or [NO] are accepted answers.

2. "is there a mechanism in Windows 10 for avoiding assigning heavy tasks to two virtual HT cores belonging to the same physical core?"

[YES] or [NO] are accepted answers.

I can be nice to anyone. Except when someone makes a personal advertisement at the cost of ruining discussion with useless and unrelated FLOOD of text. These people are of zero value to the community, no matter how many titles you put on them.

So, closer to the topic, Garry. Do you know anything about Windows 10 process scheduler improvements?

I have a very strong suspicion that the answer to the question part (1) is Yes, but need someone with knowledge to confirm.

It is very important when building specialized numeric simulation systems. A lot of RAM utilized by physical simulation software leave no choice other than using Xeon. And you can not unlock Xeon workstations and fix clock rates : but you still have to pull every bit of performance possible from these.

//P.S. With warmth in my heart I recall times in 90s, when people responsible for text flood were banned forever from the usenet. Why did flooding become a major trend between MVPs at Microsoft forums ?

Ouch, be nice. He's volunteering his free time to try to help you and others. No need to be snarky.

You need info from the hardware side and not the Windows side,

The Intel XTU is supported on Windows 10 release builds but may not be stable on Windows Insider Preview builds.

For information about XTU, you should contact Intel Support and their forums. Other good reference resources are the various OverClockers Forums.
