RE: Devoting an entire core to audio
Posted by soundchekk on December 16, 2016 at 02:35:24:
Process affinity tweaks are known, discussed and applied for almost a decade over here.
The main challenge is not to assign a process or interrupt to a certain CPU.
That you can simply do with the taskmanager.
The actual challenge is to move all other (dynamic) processes away from that CPU.
An example for affinity:

Of course you could also start a program from cmdline with an affinity flag assigned.

Linux is IMO a bit more advanced in that area. You can "isolate" an entire CPU first. (Don't know if you can do that under Windows)
This way no process will be assigned to that CPU anymore.
And than you can manually assign a process to that isolated CPU exclusively. (you could also do that in a/the process startup script to make the assignment automatic of course)
Enjoy.
