ParkControl

By Bitsum Free

Developer's Description

ParkControl is a small GUI that allows the user to enable or Disable CPU Core Parking and Frequency Scaling in real-time, without any reboot. As we expand support for the latest generation of processors, such as Skylake where Intel took back control of core parking from the OS because the OS was too inefficient on ramp-up time, we feel vindicated. A performance issue caused by the desire to be 'green' existed and Bitsum was one of the first to address it. By default, Windows simply parks too aggressively even in it's default High Performance power scheme. ParkControl will give you control of all this in real-time. Remember, core parking and frequency scaling and power plan settings, so be aware of what power plan you are in (as the UI will show you).
