How to force my pc to devote 100% of the processor power to a proc

Please help: I have to run a certain program - the code will take days to
run. When I run my code on a WinXP machine, I see that only 50% of the
processor power is devoted to this process. If I want to utilize 100% of the
processor, I have to open Two Ms-Dos windows and run two bat files. I have
never encountered this probem when I was using a pc running Windows 2000.

Is there a command that I can add to my bat file that will ensure that 100%
of the processor power is used to run this one process?

Thank you!
 
are you using one of those HT or hyperthread CPU ( P4 2.xHT or P4 3.x HT),
if so, you may want to to disable the HT to expedite your porgram. Beware,
it may let the program take up literally all CPU and the PC may not be
exactly responsive ot anything else

pardon me, you disable the HT from the BIOS not form XP

Thank you for your help!

I am running this program on a pc in a university lab. If I don't have
system administrator rights, does this mean that I won't be able to disable
the HT?

Thanks!
 
Talk to your university system administrators. Since it is their machines
(i.e. under their control), you ought to get their permission first.
