Xu Yang,
On Linux sched_getcpu(3) comes to mind. This function is not
particularly useful since the information returned by the function
might not be correct at the point of its return as threads can be
switched to other CPUs (read: cores) at anytime (although CPU/core
switching can be quite expensive due to cache line bouncing for
instance)
So, once the information has been obtained it might already be
obsolete. Anyway, I hope that is what you're looking for.
\Steve
