Some useful tools

[snq]

I figured I'd share some of my homemade tools with you guys, never know who has some use for them. If you have any special requests let me know and if it sounds like fun I might just code it ;)

A64 OC Calculator v0.2

Tool for suggesting overclocked settings.
Based on Gogar's A64 OC Optimizer: http://math.gogar.com/athlon64.cgi
I added some stuff like filter out similar results.

Grabber v1.0

Makes a screenshot and saves it as a BMP file.
The screenshot is automatically saved in the directory grabber was run from.
Date and time stamp are included in the name of the file.

RTLaunch v1.0

Launches something with realtime priority. Can be quite handy while benching :)
Just drag the exe onto rtlaunch.exe and it will start it with rt priority.
Or create a batch file: rtlaunch whatever.exe /a /b /c
and it will launch "whatever.exe /a /b /c"

(and yes, I am obsessed with size-optimizing, even tho all 3 could be much smaller)

ooh, i like the RT one

Good, at least someone has a use for my :banana::banana::banana::banana: ;)
I was expecting them to be useful for more people but perhaps this isn't the best forum part to post them :)

Anyway, I finished a new tool tonight.. FGGrabber.. No more clicking to save screenshots, just press printscreen and it's saved :) It's included in the zip now, url is in the first post.


FGGrabber v0.3

Automatically saves any screenshots you take and saves them as a BMP file.
Both fullscreen and foreground window (hence the FG) screenshots are supported.
The screenshot is automatically saved in the directory grabber was run from.
Date and time stamp are included in the name of the file.
FGGrabber sets its own priority to lowest so it won't interfere with your benching :)

PrintScreen - Whole screen
Alt-PrintScreen - Only current window
Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen - Deactivate FGGrabber 0.3

Not trying to thread jack snq, but I have a similar prio type util, but instead modifying affinity of already running processes:

command line:

affin <string> <mask>
or
affin <mask>

e.g.:

affin explorer 11 (move all procs matching "explorer" to both cores)
affin SuperPi 01 (move all procs matching "SuperPi" to core 0)
affin SuperPi 10 (opposite of above)

affin 01 (move every process to core 0)
affin 11 (spread all procs across core 0 and core 1).

Anyways, it can be useful if you want to manually move processes around cores for whatever reason and there's really no way one to get it done efficiently from task manager - not to mention command line is always less cumbersome than gui/mouse juggling. Let me know if anyone is interested.

I have a command line tool as well that sets process priority for a given mask :) Did that way back before dualcore CPUs even existed so no affinity i supported :) Could you upload your tool? It might come in handy some time and saves me some work :D
