Build Status crates.io mio Lines of Code

This crate provides a consistent way to set core affinity for currently running threads and processes.

Usage

use affinity::*;
fn bind_even_cores() {
    // Select every second core
    let cores: Vec<usize> = (0..get_core_num()).step_by(2).collect();
    println!("Binding thread to cores : {:?}", &cores);
    // Output : "Binding thread to cores : [0, 2, 4, 6]"
    
    set_thread_affinity(&cores).unwrap();
    println!("Current thread affinity : {:?}", get_thread_affinity().unwrap());
    // Output : "Current thread affinity : [0, 2, 4, 6]"
}

Complete example here.

Features

  • Bind to multiple cores
  • Return list of currently bound cores
  • Reliably get number of cores (uses num_cpus)
  • Allow caller to handle errors
  • Supports affinity inheritance for new child processes on Windows (through set_process_affinity())

Platforms

Currently only tested on :

  • Windows
  • Linux (Arch x64)
