Binding processes to processors (pbind)
The executable entity of your UnixWare system
is a light-weight process (LWP).
By default, an LWP can execute on any processor in the system.
You can use the
pbind(1M)
command to bind a process (all the associated
LWPs) or LWP to a processor.
This restricts the LWPs
to execute only on the specified processor.
Once bound, all child processes created by this process or timeout routines
requested by this process are bound by default to the same processor.
The
pbind(1M)
command can also be used to unbind a process
(all the associated LWPs) or LWP from a processor.
Once unbound, the process or LWP
can execute on any processor in the system.
