Overview

Pocket Hack Master Smarthone and Pocket PC Magazine Best Software Awards 2007 WinnerPocket PC Magazine Best Software Awards Winner! Managed CPU scaling approach based on CPU load!

 

Pocket Hack Master will make your device feel more responsive when you truly need more performance by measuring the load of the processor and applying a faster speed setting instantly when needed or by lowering the CPU clock when the device is idle.

 

By using Pocket Hack Master you can: 

  • Optimize your device for peak performance when needed and automatically increase the battery life when idling with our True-Scale feature.
  • Gain more accurate and efficient scaling than the built-in one by the OEM of your device.
  • Use application specific speed settings to automatically run any selected application at a specific speed.
  • Overclock your processor to speed up your device above its stock speed.

WARNING: Overclocking (increasing your processor speeds) can make some devices unstable and can lead to loss of data on the device. Always backup your data before using an untested speed. Some devices overclock better than others and therefore support different highest speeds.


Features

  • Change the default processor speed
  • Frequency scaling - automatically change CPU speed depending on the CPU load

  • Automatically benchmark and filter stable speed settings only
  • Easy to setup scaling engine, no complex calculations involved
  • Disable built-in OEM scaling feature for even wider compatibility
  • Powerful process/running application viewer
  • Processor instant/average load viewer
  • Predefined/recommended speed settings for most devices
  • Built-in specific device database with personalization
  • Sophisticated CPU load measurement code
  • Kernel mode support
  • Change CPU speeds from your today screen
  • Unique and configurable user interface

Technical specifications

CPU frequency and voltage scaling is essential for embedded systems since it greatly improves battery life of the portable devices.

 

The idea of frequency scaling is simple - when the embedded system is idle the CPU clock should be reduced. Additionally when more processing power is required the CPU speed should be accordingly increased. This approach delivers performance when the embedded device performs CPU intensive tasks and enhances the battery life when the device is not actively used.

 

The energy that a typical processor consumes is a square function of its clock rate. This means that a CPU running at 100MHz consumes eight times less energy than a processor running at 400MHz.

What others say

"This program is awesome!"
"After 5 minutes of the trial I registered it immediately. As the previous reviewers have stated, it simply works! I tested this with a very processor intensive program, PocketTV to view mpgegs on my Toshiba e740. Before using this program, the video tended to skip frames and I would always get glitches, even with the Pro version of PocketTV (which is another awesome program!). But once I installed Hack Master, the video playback is absolutely smooth. No glitches, no dropped frames. Great program at a great price!"

Tamim A. using Toshiba e740

"And I even thought of trading my Axim x5 for a newer one……"
"I upgraded to an Axim x5 (advanced), thinking it would be good enough for what I needed it for, but it just didn't quite cut it. The "power save" mode wasn't power saving enough, and the "maximum performance" mode wasn't enough. I tried other programs, but they all froze every time I tried to set the speed ubove 400MHz. I then found this. I could set my CPU to 100MHz, and it would last days, or set the CPU to 600MHz, for that processing power I needed. I achieved 100MHz CPU, 50MHz RAM, 50MHz bus, and 600MHz CPU, 100MHz RAM, and 200MHz bus!!! This program has a cool customizeable aotoscale feature, and is capable of (although I havn't) boosting your pda to 600MHz, 150MHz RAM, and 300MHz bus. Oh, yeah. It can boost MIPS, ARM, and XScale. THIS PROGRAM DROPPED MY MOUTH TO THE FLOOR!"

A reviewer from Utah

"This program totally rocks!"
"Great interface, all the right options, and finally software support for scaling on an XScale! Well worth the price overall, I'd have paid twice as much."
