NAME
runon - Runs a command on a specific CPU or processor set
SYNOPSIS
runon cpu_num command [argument...]
runon -p pset_id [-x] command [argument...]
DESCRIPTION
The runon utility runs the specified command (command) on the specified
CPU (cpu_num). The argument variable specifies any options or arguments
for the specified command. All the threads created by the command in-
herit the CPU binding to the specified CPU (cpu_num), including threads
created as the result of a fork.
If the -p option is used, the specified command is bound to a processor
set rather than to a specific processor. Because a processor set can
contain more than one processor, the -p option is useful for multi-
threaded applications. In addition, you can use the -x option to spec-
ify exclusive access to a processor set.
OPTIONS
Binds to a processor set instead of a processor. You must specify the
processor set identification number (pset_id), which is a unique inte-
ger that identifies the processor set and is returned by the pset_cre-
ate command. Specifies exclusive use of a processor set.
