I'm writing a threaded application that reads a Myricom Sniffer10G network card. The card distributes packets to ring buffes in userland, one buffer/thread. From Myricom's docs:
"With NUMA-predominant architectures on many-core systems, the primary architectural goal of multi-ring Sniffer is to minimize the amount of pressure on memory coherency protocols. As such, we also encourage users to bind threads/rings to particular cores to ensure that packet analysis can remain as close as possible to the memory that contains the packet."
How do I do bind a thread to a core?
