maybe this is interesting for you:

  http://isunix.it.ilstu.edu/~thockin/pset/

The goal of this project is to make a source compatible and
functionally equivalent version of pset (as defined by SGI -
partially removed from their IRIX kernel 6.4 and up) for Linux.
This enables users to determine which processor or set of
processors a process may run on.  Possible uses include forcing
threads to seperate processors, timings, and probably more.
