Re: More multiprocessing questions



I believe Solaris maps user-level threads to kernel-level
light-weight-processes, of which there can be more than one per
application/process.  One can also bind specific threads to LWPs, and
specific LWPs to processors - though this is not necessary...

I don't think these APIs are exposed to Java, though.

On OS X threads are not bound to specific CPUs. I don't recall ever hearing about a system that does that (binding processes to CPUs yes, but not individual threads within a process). OS X does not bind processes to specific CPUs, either.
