runon(1)
NAME
  runon - Runs a command on a specific CPU or processor set

SYNOPSIS
  runon cpu_num command [argument...]

  runon -p  pset_id [-x] command [argument...]

DESCRIPTION
  The runon utility runs the specified command (command) on the specified CPU
  (cpu_num). The argument variable specifies any options or arguments for the
  specified command.  All the threads created by the command inherit the CPU
  binding to the specified CPU (cpu_num), including threads created as the
  result of a fork.

  If the -p option is used, the specified command is bound to a processor set
  rather than to a specific processor.	Because a processor set can contain
  more than one processor, the -p option is useful for multi-threaded
  applications.	 In addition, you can use the -x option to specify exclusive
  access to a processor set.

OPTIONS
  -p  Binds to a processor set instead of a processor.	 You must specify the
      processor set identification number (pset_id), which is a unique
      integer that identifies the processor set and is returned by the
      pset_create command.

  -x  Specifies exclusive use of a processor set.
