You can manually set the CPU affinity (see taskset utility) to decide the core(s) where to
run your process, even if it is already running.

Subject: System no longer distributes load to multiple cores for long running task
Hi,
It's been a while (6 months?) since I ran a python program that uses a
100% cpu core for hours. The last time I ran it, the task would migrate
from core to core to core, every second or so. I could see it doing so
in the various tops.
Now, it runs on only one core, and doesn't move.
This is more efficient from a computing perspective because there
aren't as many task switches, but it means that the core that is
running gets very hot. Since the rest of the cores are idle, I would
like to switch back to the previous behavior for this reason. Can
someone tell me how?
Thanks.
PS I'm copying devel in case this isn't a kernel issue, and also
because my posts to the kernel list just seem to disappear into the
ether.
