Hi. My name is Jay Lulla, and I used to be an MIT student. I have a
couple
quick Linux questions.
First, can we install "Athena Linux" even if we no longer have Athena
accounts?
Ie - is this Linux version for general use on a PC?
Second, I have a general question about running processes on a PC that
has
more than one microprocessor. If you have a Linux (or Unix) machine that
has 2 microprocessors, is there a command you can use to run a program
on a
specific one? Let's say I have a program called 'run-me'. When I run
'run-me',
it appears that it divides its CPU resources, yet most of its
resources are used from processor #1. Is there a way
to run 'run-me' a second time, so that it's running twice, each
thread/process on a different microprocessor?
What are the commands that address this issue?
Thanks,
Jay Lulla
