taskset¶
Introduction¶
This short page contains the taskset commands I want to keep at hand.
Retrieving a running process’s CPU affinity¶
Retrieve the CPU affinity of prpocess with a given PID with a command like:
taskset -c -p <PID>
CPUs are identified by a zero-based number.
Setting CPU affinity for a process (when launching it)¶
To set the CPU affinity of a process when you launch it prepend the command you
would normally use (like <COMMAND> <FIRST_ARGUMENT> <SECOND_ARGUMENT> ...)
with taskset -c <CPU_LIST>. Examples:
taskset -c 0 <COMMAND> <FIRST_ARGUMENT> <SECOND_ARGUMENT> ...
taskset -c 0,3,6-8 <COMMAND> <FIRST_ARGUMENT> <SECOND_ARGUMENT> ...
