I am using the taskset tool to set CPU affinity for one of my programs. How do I set the affinity on a single CPU only – since I was not sure about this, so I was doing this:
taskset -c 2-2 tests/prog 1 2 3
…expecting, that I am scheduling the program to run on CPU #2 only, following the similar way for other CPUs. Even if I’m right, this is a bad way to perform what I want IMO, can I get some help?
Thank you,
Sayan
taskset -c 2 ...should work to pin the program to CPU #2 (which is the third CPU — CPUs are numbered from 0).Depends on what you want. What are you trying to accomplish?
