[erlang-questions] "processor affinity" for processes

[Zvi]

Hi David,

thanks,

but what if I want to run two Erlang nodes on on dual CPU machine?
Will commands bellow work?

~/Desktop/tmp% erl -sname cpu1 +S 1
~/Desktop/tmp% erl -sname cpu2 +S 1

Will each of them grab it's own CPU, or this will be left to the mercy of
OS?
