Well, in a real SMP system, the "S" is for "symmetric". Thus it
doesn't really make a lot of sense to bind a process to a processor.
If you're interested in real-time performance, then what you need
to worry about (probably) is interrupt or I/O latency. An SMP system
just tends to lower the latency. Of course, on a real-time system
with a scheduler that lets you avoid "equitable" preemption, a
CPU-bound thread at high priority will own the CPU anyway, and you
don't have to do any special configuration to arrange for that
behavior.

Subject: Binding tasks to processors
Semi-dumb question, as I've never played with a dual cpu box in linux.
How can I bind one process to a single CPU and leave the other CPU
open for system tasks?

My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
