Hi,
I am going to deploy my game on a PC with dual core. I need one of the cores to be 100% committed to a certain background thread that I open in my game, and for the rest of the game (or at least most of it) to run on the other core.
Is there any way I can control this in unity?
There is a way for you to tell the OS which core you want a certain thread to run on. Take a look at these two links:
The first one sets an indication for the scheduler to heed, while the other one directly sets a process’ CPU affinity. This means you can dictate that your background thread must run on a particular core, but your application is still at the mercy of the OS scheduler; you can’t reserve an entire CPU core for one thread. But I suppose you can make the core whose number you set an affinity for so busy that the OS scheduler consistently chooses another one for other tasks. 
Has anyone actually gotten Unity to accept a non-core0 processor affinity in Windows stand-alone from within Unity code?
Setting processor affinity fails in 3.4+, which limits the number of -batchmode host instances one can run on a server. (Unless you hack together another process to manage them)
Anyone dealt with this?,We are trying to set Affinity to unique cores for multiple -batchmode instances, but Unity seems to overwrite affinity back to core0.
I’ve seen several threads on the topic, but has anyone successfully set affinity within their Unity code using 3.4+?
