Ok Brice,

thanks very much for your explanations. But I don't understand why a process
inherits core bound of his threads according to your example:

>It worked because you never mixed it with single thread binding. If you
bind process X to >coreA and then thread Y of process X to coreB, what you
should now see with get_cpubind is >that process X is now bound to cores
A+B, thread Y to B, and all other threads to A.
