BUILT FOR REAL WORKLOADS

Every cycle counts.

Anima balances virtual execution lanes across your existing CPU, giving demanding workloads room to breathe.

One-click setup

Detects your kernel, selects the correct module and applies an optimized core map automatically.

$ anima install --auto

Native scheduling

Integrates with CFS and EEVDF schedulers instead of running a resource-heavy userspace layer.

Scheduler efficiency 98.7%

Safe by design

Atomic rollback snapshots let you return to your original CPU topology with a single command.
