cpus for especific users

hi,
how can asignate in a multicore processor a number of core for especific users ?

many thanks.

IT would help A LOT of you specified the OS.
Solaris:

pbind [processor number]

as an example. You can place this command in the user profile: ~/.profile
IF solaris is not it please specify the OS.

thanks for you answer.

my OS is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10

You cannot assign a CPU to an individual user without getting in system logical partitioning or virtualization. You can however bind a process to one or more CPUs using what is termed hard or soft processor affinity. Do a web seach for "Linux processor affinity" and you will find plenty of information about the subject.
