SysnativeBSODApps 2.12.0 Footprint?

writhziden · Feb 5, 2013

With version 2.12.0, how much of the processor are people seeing used with parallel threading disabled?

We have at least one concern that the apps are causing overheating on a system. I'd like to track down why if others are having similar problems.

On my system, the apps use ~0% of the processor for most of the run. They only exceed that during file output when they reach ~11%: See the video below.

Look at the CPU usage of kd.exe - you have 8 cores and kd.exe takes about 100% of one of them. I think people are talking about 'overall cpu usage' during analysis :)

m.g.

Yeah, kd.exe does take up about half a core (i7 has 4 cores, but 8 logical processors show up due to the hyperthreading technology). I'll see if I can look into how to limit its usage if that does end up being the factor that is causing some systems to overheat.

Have the person who's experiencing overheating run Prime95. That'll heat up the CPU if anything will.
If it overheats then, then it's most likely a cooling problem rather than the app.
FWIW - I've never had any issues with the app hogging my CPU (1st gen i7)

The problem appears to be due to a hang in kd.exe; I am thinking the command flags may not be setup correctly and cause problems on some systems in how they are interpreted. I am working to use a different method for the kernel debugger command line flags.
