• Set a running process' CPU affinity by PID:

taskset --pid --cpu-list {{cpu_id}} {{pid}}

• Start a new process with affinity for a single CPU:

taskset --cpu-list {{cpu_id}} {{command}}

• Start a new process with affinity for multiple non-sequential CPUs:

taskset --cpu-list {{cpu_id_1}} {{cpu_id_2}} {{cpu_id_3}}

• Start a new process with affinity for CPUs 1 through 4:

taskset --cpu-list {{cpu_id_1}},{{cpu_id_4}}
