Hello,

Is there a way to set   a process's CPU affinity  with  freebsd  smp kernel.
 By doing so a process is bound to and will only run on the processor (where
the affinity was set ) even though the other processors are free.  (similar
to sched_setaffinity available on Linux kernel) .

Does  freebsd smp scheduler supports setting affinity?

Thanks
