Processor affinity is not new and many operating systems can accomplish this at the user level. In other words, you can do this yourself. Programmers can also assign specific cores or CPU's in their applications. However, you have to understand the application in order to determine if there's any real benefit vs letting the OS scheduler have complete control over where each thread resides.Look up "processor affinity". Each operating system has their own specific commands and/or APIs to manage affinity (or binding). taskset is common in Linux systems, cpuset in BSD, pset_bind in Solaris, etc.
