McGrew" To: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Good morning, Using FC3 or FC4 with the 2.6.9 or later kernel, we're looking for a way to bind a thread (or an entire process) to a designated CPU. We're using dual processor systems as well as P4 with HT and Xeons so all of our boxes either have two CPU's or 'appear' to have two. I want to be able, in my C++ code to designate a specific thread to a specific processor. I've heard rumors that with the 2.6 kernel this is now possible??? Thanks, -brian Brian D.
