Changing the processor affinity for programs in Windows lets you free up CPU resources being used by lighter processes, so that they can be allocated to more important and intensive programs. Changing ...

Abstract: Virtually all major real-time operating systems such as QNX, VxWorks, LynxOS, and most real-time variants of Linux expose processor affinity APIs to restrict task migrations. Initially ...

On the NUMA systems process migration is usually an expensive operation. To avoid excessive migration of KVM processes we can set processor affinity ( a.k.a. processor pinning). Otherwise, this could ...

On a dual-core processor, you can entirely disable the second core through the System Configuration menu or partially disable it using processor affinity options. System Configuration lets you set how ...

It appears as though a program I use has issues running on pc's with hyperthreading capable CPU's. The workaround for this is to set processor affinity through task manager to a single cpu instead of ...

Okay, you're the proud new owner of a new desktop or laptop computer running Windows XP or Windows Vista. Whether you realize it or not, it's more than likely to sport a spritely multi-core processor, ...

I don't know of a way to force them to a particular processor; if you want to force them to a single processor (with the proviso that they'll all run on the same processor) to e.g. avoid issues with ...

The ability in Linux to bind one or more processes to one or more processors, called CPU affinity, is a long-requested feature. The idea is to say “always run this process on processor one” or “run ...
