runon(1) — Commands
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 inherit 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 specify exclusive access to a processor set.
OPTIONS
−pBinds to a processor set instead of a processor. You must specify the processor set identification number (pset_id), which is a unique integer that identifies the processor set and is returned by the pset_create command.
−xSpecifies exclusive use of a processor set.
