Dave,

It sounds like you are asking about processor affinity.... yes, that's
been around for a while, but I'm not sure about specific libraries, the
solutions I've seen were all from commercial products and may have
been proprietary, ie., owned by Sybase, owned by Informix, etc.

I don't know if anyone has done anything cool with SMP, in Linux or any
other Unix, to allow a library routine (or, by extension, any function)
in user space to indicate either what processor it wants to use, or
that it can be assigned to a separate processor as a thread of
execution.  I don't see it in the online docs, but I'm not in a
position right now to do a web search.
