Linux SMP issue in kernel 2.6.0

Hi,

  I am new to this Linux SMP field. Having noticed
that this linux kernel 2.6.0 has obvious improvement
over SMP issue, I upgraded my kernel version on Fedora
Core 1 distribution.

  I have a 6-cpu P-Pro server powered at 200MHz each.
Right now I would like to do benchmarking on it. I
would like to know how to make use of the new 2 system
calls found in this kernel to bind a process to
specific CPU? Previously, on kernel 2.4.22, I have
created 6 threads to be run on these CPUs, each thread
run on a CPU, using POSIX threads. The result is
unsatisfying due to the latency caused by the
swtiching over of task among CPUs. Please enlighten.

Regards,
yewmeng
