Well, you can use the CHUD system preference pane to disable CPU cores. Dunno if this addresses your need or not since you haven't explained why you want this. If you explained your situation better, we might be able to provide better advice. For instance, if your goal is to lower your app's priority relative to other apps, there are better ways of doing it than arbitrarily capping your CPU utilization.

Hi all,
is there any possibility to limit the number of CPU cores used by the threads of a Cocoa application? I could not seem to find any documentation on this via Google yet.

I need to allocate up to a maximum of 2 cores only, even though the app schedules many more threads at times (up to a dozen). Can this be achieved by configuring the application's properties, or will it require more sophisticated hacks?
Any advice is appreciated.
Andre
