   Check out the TMP_AFFINITY(2) system call.
   I've never actually used it, but I think it
   restricts your process to being scheduled on a particular processor, but
   doesn't prevent that processor from running other processes.

It doesn't prevent the processor from running other processes, but
affinitied processes are scheduled before non-affinitied processes,
so you get an inherent priority over other processes.

It make some time for other processes to migrate off you processor,
but after that, you should have it pretty much all to yourself.
