I have two Opteron clusters - one SLES8 based - the other Suse9. Both are running a 2.4.21 kernel with numa enabled.
Are there any commands available to launch a process onto a given cpu (or set of cpus) within an SMP ?
There's a numactl package that offers some options - but also some options that are not implemented in the kernel...
numactl won't work on the shipped kernels (it was for an experimental kernel patch was never production ready) In SL 9.0 you can use the commands in the scheduler-utilities rpm (not installed by default, but on the DVD) SLES8 currently doesn't have a tool, but there may be an update with a scheduler-utilities rpm. If you cannot wait for that you could compile the SL9 rpm yourself there. -Andi
