I did a little searching and it looks like "processor affinity"
might be available now (kernel 2.4.x), although from what I can see it seems
like you need to patch the kernel for userland interaction.  Some people
argue that Linux's scheduler does a good job of picking where to run,
therefore they feel that processor affinity isn't necessary.  This might be
something to consider while benchmarking performance.

        I don't believe this is supported in Linux.  I have heard that other
OS's do allow it.  I looked into doing something like this a year ago and
was unsuccessful in finding a solution.  You may want to search for the
words "processor affinity", I believe that's the "technical" term used to
describe what your looking for.  

        If you find a solution, please post it back to the list.

I'm running a couple of dual processor servers and I would like to know 
if there's a way to specify what cpu a program uses? Does that make 
sense? I'm running Apache in front of Zope on RH 7.2 and I would like 
the Zope server to use one CPU and the Apache server to use the other. 
Is this possible?

TIA

Rick
