I have a different issue with setting cpu affinity. Has anyone
considered a "soft" affinity?
I'm thinking of the case where I want to run processes on separate cpus
for performance reasons, but in the case that one cpu becomes
unavailable (physically removed, hardware fault, etc.) I would like to
move those processes back to working cpus (except for maybe the one that
was actually running and therefore might be corrupted). In this case a
reduced performance might be preferable to an unplanned failover to
backup hardware.
Has this scenario been considered, or will cpu affinity be a "hard" setting.
